>>12025874
>communal plate with everyone else's dirty hands and half eaten shitty bread

horray

>>12025874
Wow so adventurous anon. Thank god you noticed that Japanese guy forgot to cook that bluefin tuna too.

>>12025896
that's a million times more appetizing than the op

There's usually some sort of pita bread included. It's basically like greek food

>>12025902
Ethiopian food doesn't look appetizing or aesthetically pleasing, but it is pretty good. There is nothing the make that I don't like.

>>12025913
a good meal is pleasing to the eyes and the mouth

>>12025864
I had this recently for the first time and it was very good. The red lentil thing at 1 o’clock was delicious

>>12025918
are you an actual child?

>>12025918
This would imply that it is impossible for something that is not pleasing to the eyes to taste good, which is wrong. Ethiopian food is proof.

>>12025902
It should. It's meat.

Worked with a lot of Ethiopians, most from the city, some from the country. All 100% sweethearts. They considered it rude not to invite me to eat with them, and brought their own food on and off. I almost never joined as I didn't want to barge in. They'd also stop mid conversation because they considered it rude not to quickly translate anyone who wasn't speaking in english.

Great food but almost always foods soaked up with breads, probably to avoid waste. I never asked or looked it up. I know they were all Christian and had some of the oldest Christian churches in existence.

>>12025918
>a good meal is pleasing to the eyes
It can be, but sometimes a perfectly seasoned stew won't look pretty but will be incredibly satisfying to eat. And there are plenty of pretty foods that don't taste good, lots of stuff posted on social media just so it looks good for a picture but how it tastes wasn't as important.

>>12025883

That bread does look shitty. Like pieces of a foam mat or something

>>12025961
Yeah, reminds me of dragma.

>>12025961
>Like pieces of a foam mat or something
That's because it's leavened but only cooked on one side. Crumpets kind of look the same way.

>>12025961
>>12025965
Considering how much /ck/ seems to crossover with other boards loving Star Trek, it surprises me people get autistic about foods looking different than things you can find outside an American/European shopping mall. You'd think they'd have more fun with unusual textures.

I wish I could enjoy the injera more. I love sourdough but something about the sourness combined with the spongy texture was just off putting for me. And what's the point of eating Ethiopian without injera?

>>12026072
I fucking love injera, but it’s hard to make at home without that special pan, so I’ll often make Ethiopian stews but leave the injera out.

>>12025864
Looks pretty good desu. Id love to try it.

>>12025864
I had pic related once, though I think it's a Nigerian dish.The bean paste itself was very tasty, and the bread was super soft. Only downside was the extreme amount of gas that came the following day.

>>12025864
Heh looks like a big slop o barf that someone shat out all over the table pathetic

This shit is great. People who complain probably never even tried it.

>>12025864
Looks delicious to me. What's your problem, OP?

>>12026129
This. Every post saying it's slop or barf sounds like something a flyover would type up.

>>12025864
Ethiopian food is great; easily the best food in Africa (I mean, they're really only competing with North Africa, which is just Middle Eastern food, and South Africa, which is literally Dutch people food living in Africa - so not much to write home about).

>>12025864
Looks like some indian took a poo in the middle of that plate and expects you to pay for it. Lot's of luck expecting that from me, it's not going to happen.

>>12026142
Diarrhea looks delicious to you?
Seek therapy before you go native and it's too late.

>>12026185
You don't like South Asian food? Pleb.

>>12026185
Pakistani paratha is, to my own surprise, one of my favorite breads

>>12026189
I see some greens, some veggies, some lentils and a spicy stew on freshly made bread. I thing you might need to have your eyes checked.

>>12026190
OP said Ethiopian, when was Ethiopia in Asia?

>>12026195
Looks like poo to me, to each our own.

>>12026151
Sure wish there wasnt so much hate for "flyovers". I'm 100% certain I'm a better cook than you and I like in one of the least populous states in the country.

>>12026190
India's not asia, it's a subcontenent all it's own. Ever notice a huge mass of mountains there from two continents colliding, that's because india broke off from nigger africa, that's what them so fucking retarded. They're not asian.

>>12026201
>i'm 100% certain I'm a better cook than you
Just because your hot dish is the first thing to go at the church potluck doesn't make you better than anyone here.

Hey, as long as their food isn't like their flying I will try anything once.

>>12026198
Anon said it looked like Indian poo.
>>12026206
Yes, India is a subcontenent, but there are more than one country that make it up these days, and when referring to the group the term South Asian is commonly used. Would you have preferred I said Deshi?

>>12026222
Ok three, but originally it was just india, now you have india, pakistan and kashmir, big fucking deal it's all the same shithole to me.

>>12026225
Their food is great though.

>>12026029
>we want to curl into a tight ball
>huddle against europe's back wall
>spend our days digging peat
>soured cabbage we don't eat!

Said a rapper once.

Just pol coming to to have a little holiday and to train their "debating" skills. I've seen similar shitposting happening lately on /n/. Suddenly you just can't have transit because niggers will just break it. And massive shilling for privatize everything - no entitlements - of course. It's obvious these people aren't bicycle enthuasists, train/plane/ship/etc autists or urbanism buffs, so what are they? I vote board tourists.
(To be honest though, maybe there is some crossemination between American freight train spotters, they may be more likely right wing economically.)

>>12026222
I'm talking the overall landmass not the nations on that landmass. Apparently there's some little one on some island that people aren't allowed to go to otherwise the natives kill them first and ask questions later. I think that's to southwest of india but the name of the place escapes me.

>>12026227
Yeah sure it is, if you like eating poo.

>>12026233
Do you practice that in front of a mirror with a baseball cap turned backwards?

>>12026233
I don't understand why anyone would want to pretend to be an American nigger. Get yourself some gold teeth while your at it for the full experience.

The thing about African food is it may look and taste appetizing in some instances but it's only just to fill the stomach. in other words, these dishes are not rich in essential nutrients which is why they get sick and still look malnourished

>>12026235
You've never even had it.

>>12026250
Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page spent a good chunk of their careers doing just that.

>>12026261
That's true of what poor people eat everywhere.

>>12026265
So what? I'm not them.

>>12026275
Right. They're famous rockstars and you're a nobody on the internet.

>>12026279
Exactly so I'm not them and they're not me. I don't pretend to be someone that I'm not. Do you?

>>12026279
Do you often dress up like a celebrity and wear a Tahitian to-to?

>>12026216
So many assumptions. Why do you hate middle America so much?

>>12026361
>Why do you hate middle America so much?
Not the poster you're replying to but I've eaten the food there. From a food perspective it's a pretty hateful place.

>>12026361
I hate middle America because it hates me, the "city slicker". The hate goes both ways.

>>12026395
>me, the "city slicker"
Time for your pills gramps.

>>12026199
Most meat stews look like shit.

>>12026361
Because mexicans are disgusting

>>12026395

>>12025864
It looks like shit but tastes amazing
You'd miss out if you choose not to try it, given the opportunity.
>>12025941
Fun story anon.

>>12025864
explain how that isn't food.

>>12026173
Eh, morrocan foods pretty good whilst being slightly different enough to warrant a mention

>>12026539
Couscous is literally the national dish of every African nation that touches the Mediterranean. "slightly different enough" is really a matter of opinion.

>>12026029
What's the soup on the right?

>>12025864
I've had ethiopian food b4 and much like indan food its good if prepared in a clean western kitchen. Also, Ive only ever been to the one restaurant, but the guys here passive agresively hate vegetarians and its fun to watch.

>>12026539
I love moroccan beef stew with the olives. Holy fuck it's so good.

>>12025864
SLOP
O
SHIT

>>12028202
YOU
SAID
THIS
ALREADY

>>12025864
it's just a shitty version of indian food

>>12026361
Middle America is a crime against culture.

>>12027785
>The stew was really quite good - big fat flat noodles, some potato, and pieces of yak.

>british """food"""

>>12025864
I see variety and flavour. Looks delicious. Reminds me of a thali meal.

>>12028655
A shittier version of shit, that's not saying much for either.

>>12025864
My dad got cholera after eating one of these

>>12025864
>""""""""""""""""""""American Food""""""""""""""""""""

>>12028898
Why is he wearing an overcoat all the time? What's he hiding in there?

>>12025962
Never heard of it.

>>12028669
Do you happen to know what it's called?

>>12025918
That's what all the green shit's for

>>12026201
Don't let it get to you anon, the retards using the word flyover are jealous that we don't have to dodge fuckin bum dung and hipster faggots every day.

>>12025883
This.

Indian is the superior multicolored slop served on flatbread.

>>12025864
That shit is great. Also the crunchy lamb with green peppers. And their coffee is the best I've ever had

>>12028949
Nurgle mutations

>>12025965
I'll leavened you , sweetheart.

I'm gay btw, if that matters

>>12025864
My friend was in Cameroon and was offered a funny looking sausage. He ate it and thought the filling was a bit strange, so he asked what they stuffed the intestines with. Their answer?
>nothing, we don't empty them

>>12028949
his weight

>>12025937
No, it would imply ugly food doesn't make a good meal.

>>12026093
You can make it with a crepe pan
