Even though Winnipeg boasts a number of Ethiopian restaurants, we might be missing out on some of the foods that other cities are enjoying. I have tasted this false banana bread from a friend and it is delicious. Unfortunately I cannot go to my friend every time to eat but it would be nice if this was also offered in our local restaurants.
This dish is made from a unique product Enset which has been growing in Ethiopian for thousands of year. It is cultivated from the trunk of a plant resembling the banana plant hence "false banana." The texture is unique. Check out the article and picture of a dish made with this interesting food and human ingenuity in turning something on the face of it inedible into a great food which is a staple in Ethiopia.
