Hana Oqubay immigrated from Ethiopia and resettled here in Fredericton. The food she serves at her stall in the Northside Market is Jemberu’s closest link to his home.
The food options are simple but full of flavor.
Jemberu explains the different foods to friend Justin Killam.
Jemberu demonstrates how to eat the food by wrapping it up in Injera, a traditional flatbread.
The act of feeding one another by hand is called Gursha, it is an important part of Ethiopian culture. According to Jemberu, it represents generosity and sharing.
