I love Ethiopian food so much that after eating it for the first time in 2008, I was determined to learn to cook it. The restaurant where I had Watt the first time it was a little too spicy. I then began to make the berbere spice myself and adjust the heat to my liking. However, I have never been able to completely reproduce the flavors of the restaurant so I have tried commercial spice mixes trying to find that thing I am missing in my own mix. There are some exotic spices that are not readily available here in the US, like Bishop's Weed. So, for me this is usable, more heat than flavor, but flavorful enough. I added it to my own mixture to reduce the heat and add more flavor to my mix. It is good enough for a beginner to get an idea of the flavors in Ethiopian cuisine, but be mindful, it is pretty hot for someone that doesn't do heat well.
