[Segment 1: Dubai to Addis Ababa] Early morning flight from Dubai to Addis Ababa. Well, I have to say this is better than I thought. If this is Continental or Delta, there would be only the croissant, jam, butter and fruits on the tray, sans eggs dish, believe me! This is not bad for an airline from a very poor African country...

[Segment 1: Dubai to Addis Ababa]The egg (scrambled or an omelet) looked a little disgusting. But it tasted better than it looked, fortunately. Well, I can fly this airline again, I thought.

[Segment 2: Dire Dawa to Addis Ababa] What?! They have food on the domestic flight from Addis Ababa to Dire Dawa (it is one hour's flight). It is just a cake, but I think I'm satisfied.

[Segment 3: Addis Ababa to Dubai] The lunch on the flight between Addis Ababa and Dubai. Because I started my 108 days vegetarian period already at this point, I ordered a vegetarian meal.

[Segment 3: Addis Ababa to Dubai] The appetizer, cold and chewy. I just could not finish it.

[Segment 3: Addis Ababa to Dubai] The vegetarian entree. It is quite unimaginative, with simply pasta, carrots, and some string beans. Because some spice (not too much) they cooked with, the pasta and vegetables did not taste as bad as it looks. But still, it can be improved...

[Segment 3: Addis Ababa to Dubai] The desert, finally something tastes good in this meal!


Overall, food on Ethiopian Airline is NOT THAT GOOD. However, since I did not have high hope about Ethiopian Airline at all, it actually fared much better than I thought! For a country this poor, their national airline is actually relatively well-run, don't you think? Their food is edible (though far from "gourmet") At the time when few of North American airlines offer free (and edible) food on their domestic routes, and many don't even offer free alcohol on their intercontinental routes (yes, AA, I'm talking about you!), Ethiopian Airline is quite generous. To give them some big encouragement, I raise my score:

Final score: B
