There was, but it was cut into strips which were about two inches wide, and
you really need something wider to pick up chunks of doro wat. Even with
injera it's difficult to get a handle on something more liquid, like their
curried lentils.

Regardless, it was a most enjoyable occasion; we were there more for our
friends than for the food. The fact that the food was good was *extra*.
