Food taste and quantity for appetizer/salad/entree, ET wins by a mile especially if they have the injera/Ethiopian national dish course. Dessert quality, I would actually give UA the edge. Seat quality I still prefer UA with direct aisle access from the window and a more private cabin. ET is still flying angled flat seats on some routes and most of their lie-flat seats in the fleet don't have aisle access from the window although the newer planes do.
