Re:GF Injera at Ethiopian Restaurant? (was Re: Teff)

April 15, 2008

About a year ago I was at the Ethiopian place @ 51st &

Telegraph in Oakland. The host was really clear - he

said that EVERYONE around here makes teff out of wheat

flour. He said that there's no restaurant around here

that uses only teff. At the time, he added that no

one had been able to import teff for about 3 months,

there's been a problem with getting it, so if anyone

said they don't use wheat they're not being truthful.

But that was a while ago now, so it could have been

resolved - still, he said all restaurants generally

use wheat flour to make injera.

The host also went *totally* out of his way for me -

he ran across the street to get a bag of rice, and

cooked up some rice to go with the food. He really

was very nice, accomodating, and the customer service

was the some of the best I've ever experienced.
