One of them claims to make their own, maybe they would be willing to sell it to you? <br /> <br /> I don't know how far from a bigger city you live, but have you tried posting a request on Craigslist? Or are there any Ethiopian societies/community groups around? I would bet somebody would be happy and proud to make the real McCoy for a reasonable price.<br /> <br /> Man, your posts make me hungry!

Man, your posts make me hungry!

I used a recipe in Exotic Ethiopian Cooking. I think there was a spice or two that I didn't have (like bishop's weed), but everything else I either had in my pantry or could buy locally. <br /> <br /> Keep in mind that I hadn't eaten Ethiopian food very often and definitely didn't have the discerning palate that your girls have. But I thought it turned out fine at the time! I don't have my cookbook with me right now, but I'd be happy to send you the recipe if you're interested. :) Hi, Mary, the first time I ever cooked Ethiopian food, I made my own berbere.
