### A closer look at each part

**Flatbread pieces**

The bread is cut or broken into small pieces. It has a different texture from the large, soft sheet of injera served with many stews.

**Berbere seasoning**

Berbere is a traditional Ethiopian chilli-spice seasoning that coats the bread pieces.

**Your butter choice**

The owner confirms two options: without butter or kibe for A$20, or with butter or kibe for A$25. Kibe refers to the spiced butter option.

**Photographed toppings**

The reference image shows additional pale and yellow toppings. Ask about the serving and any extras rather than assuming all photographed accompaniments are included.

YOUR FIRST FEW BITES

## Settle in. *Take your time.*

THE FEEL 

### Flavour & texture

Small flatbread pieces with a seasoned surface; the butter option adds a richer coating.

THE FIRST BITE 

### Start here

Tell the team which butter option you want, then try a few bread pieces before mixing in any accompaniment.

THE HOW 

### Make it your own

Use a fork or spoon to gather the bread pieces. You do not need another piece of bread to scoop this dish.

**A note on preparation**Without butter or kibe: A$20. With butter or kibe: A$25. Confirm other cooking ingredients if you have a dietary requirement.
