Each time I go to Mesob Ethiopian Restaurant, I find myself warmed from the inside out.

Of course this can be explained on a chemical basis. Ethiopian cooking is dominated by warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, clove, and cardamom, not to mention the capsaicin packing spice mixture, berbere.

There's an intangible warmth at Mesob resonates beyond food science.

If you've ever hesitated about going to Mesob, or any ethnic restaurant that suggests eating without utensils, do yourself a favor, put the knife and fork down, use a moist towelette, and dig in.

Tear the injera, and with a claw like motion scoop combinations of wots. Then mix and match as you like, perhaps doro wot (tradtional Ethiopian stew) along with farmer's cheese or greens. It's delicious fun!
