Discover the Tradition of Gursha

Gursha

What is Gursha?

The Ethiopia custom of giving gursha plays up the erotic component of eating. Gursha means mouthful and refers to a morsel of food, which one places carefully in anther’s mouth, usually as a gesture of affection. Gursha is exchanged between husband and wife, as well as among relatives and friends. We would like to you to experience the art of Gursha– the enjoyment of this custom to its fullest. Simply use your injera to scoop up some food and place it gently in the other person’s mouth…with a smile on your lips and twinkle in your easy.
