New Year's Resolution #1: Eat With Your Hands

One hot thing to do with a date, eating with your hands also taps into the well of simple pleasures in which we as modern cavemen long to partake. Fried chicken, messy sandwiches, sushi, sopping up soup with crusty bread...and injera.

The spongy, pancake-like bread, lightly sour from the use of special starter, coats a large plate and gets topped with a variety of veggies and stews. Eat what's on top by tearing off small pieces of the injera, careful to sop up enough of your wat (stews) as to not leave you injera-less as you work your way around the platter. Saba gets particularly high marks for the depth of their vegetarian selections (easily made vegan if you ask), and their fluffy, pillowy injera.
