Ethiopian cuisine characteristically consists of spicy vegetable an meat dishes, usually in the form of wot (With a hard 't' noise), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread, which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour. Ethiopians eat with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes. No utensils are used.
