On a total of over 40 intl. BC flts, jfk- (1)ZRH, (2)CDG, (3)LHR, (4)NRT, only NRT had "ethnic" meal choices. The other 3 had pretty much the same choices (though many of them could be considered French cuisine.)
For (3), I'm not sure what should be considered "ethnic".
But for (1), choices with wursts, fondues etc. might be nice.
Would any FTer's want (some) "ethnic" choices?

Tonight's Amuse Bouche, a very nice Corn and Grits cake with Cajun shrimp.
For the starter, I went with Thai Chicken with grilled five spice pineapple, watermelon and Asian style mint dressing... wonderful.
Next up, the Poblano Asiago. OMG, one of the most delicious soups I have ever tasted, anywhere.
Excellent salad although dressing tossed would have been nice, instead of drizzled on top.
For my main, I decided to go with the Grilled Fillet of Beef hoping that it wouldn't be well done. Nice presentation.
Although it was medium and little dry, it was still very good.
Mrs. SFO went with the Manchego chicken which she enjoyed.
And for dessert, the classic AA Ben and Jerry's ice cream sundae.
All in all, a surprisingly, indeed shockingly excellent meal. Not impressed with any of the wines although the one I did try, the Antu Ninquen Syrah was passable. But while the food was excellent, the service was not well paced and seemingly rushed. The old battle ax on AD aisle seemed to think that she needed to deliver each course within 30 seconds of removing the previous course. Jeez, is it that difficult to have someone with restaurant experience spend an hour with your FAs.

AA 344 MGA-MIA 1520-1855 737-800 - Dinner
No Pre-Departure Drink, though I guess we were delayed 1hr20 so it's forgivable
Choice of chicken or steak, steak was cooked pretty well and was really tasty. Three bread options including pictured pretzel, wheat and something else, even the wine was decent. The chocolate pictured for dessert was small but delicious. There were also mints later. Excellent flight all around ^
