I felt the same way looking at the menu for your ET flight from ICN. That menu looked like it could've belonged to any Western airline and had nothing besides the coffee that was remotely Ethiopian.

The dodo was the best part.
I had to look this up because I had no idea what dodo was (surely not the bird!). Turns out it's amaranth leaves.
