Fit-fit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fit-fit is an Eritrean and Ethiopian food typically served at breakfast (though it can be served at other meals as well). It is typically made with tesmi and sometimes also with berbere, in which case it is called fir-fir. In some cases tesmi has been substituted for various oils or butters however, the difference in taste is notable. There are two major varieties of fit-fit: injera (taita), and kitcha/kita.
[edit] Injera fit-fit
Injera fit-fit (also taita fit-fit in Tigrinya) is a combination of shredded injera, berbere, onions and tesmi however, additions are not uncommon. These are typically then referred to by the name of the addition with "fit-fit" appended to the name. For instance if one were to add shiro, the resulting food would then be called "shiro fit-fit."
This food can be eaten with either a spoon (which is not typical for Eritreans and Ethiopians) or using another piece of injera.
[edit] Kitcha fit-fit
Kitcha fit-fit (or kita fit-fit) is a combination of shredded kitcha/kita, berbere, and tesmi. Kitcha fit-fit is sometimes eaten with plain yogurt.
Unlike most Eritrean and Ethiopian foods, is eaten with a utensil (usually a spoon). Kitcha/kita fit-fit is generally considered a spicy food (in which case it is called Kitcha/kita fir-fir).
