For thousands of years, Ethiopians have made traditional Ethiopian bread called injera. When eating an Ethiopian meal, injera serves both as your platter and utensil. Break a small piece of injera and place it on the wat of your choice (wat literally means stew), while simultaneously pinching your fingers to pick up the amount you desire.

Traditional Ethiopian cuisine employs no pork of any kind, as most Ethiopians are either Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, Muslims or Jews, and are thus prohibited from eating pork. Ethiopian restaurants are a popular choice for vegetarians living in Western countries. ~ Wikipedia
