Snacks
Typical Ethiopian snacks are Dabo Kolo
(small pieces of baked bread that are
similar to pretzels) or kolo (roasted barley
sometimes mixed with other local grains).
Kolo made from roasted and spiced barley,
safflower kernels, chickpeas and/or
peanuts are often sold by kiosks and
street vendors, wrapped in a paper cone.
Snacking on popcorn is also common.[1]
Gursha
A gursha (var. gorsha, goorsha) is an act of
friendship and love. When eating injera, a
person uses his or her right hand to strip
off a piece, wraps it around some wat or
kitfo, and then puts it into his or her mouth.
During a meal with friends or family, it is a
common custom to feed others in the
group with one's hand by putting the rolled
injera or a spoon full of other dishes into
another's mouth.[16] This is called a gursha,
and the larger the gursha, the stronger the
friendship or bond (only surpassed by the
brewing of Tej together). This tradition
was featured in "The Food Wife," an
episode of The Simpsons that uses
Ethiopian cuisine as a plot point.[17]

Atmet is a barley and oat-flour based drink
that is cooked with water, sugar and kibe
(Ethiopian clarified butter) until the

consistency slightly thicker than egg-nog.
Though this drink is often given to women
who are nursing, the sweetness and
smooth texture make it a comfort drink for
anyone who enjoys its flavor.
