What is this bread?

August 24, 2013 10:02 AM

I was at a Mexican corner grocery last night, and on a whim bought this bread. It's really good, and I want to know what it is. It's really dense and wheaty, with a bit of sweetness (kind of like a honey wheat.) The only label is the one in the picture (enhanced). I've tried searching the word in label, and get nothing! What is it?

Best answer: It looks and sounds a lot like himbasha, although that's not a Mexican bread.

My first thought was a Salvadorean quesadilla.

Best answer: Ghidey is an Ethiopian name, which again points toward himbasha.

Response by poster: Himbasha looks like it! It was right next to the Injera bread too, so it being Ethiopian is not a surprise.
