The menu looks strange for me, haha ... No rice no eating ... , that is joke for Indonesian mainly in my area where I live. Though we eat bread untill full , we will be still hungry without eating rice.
A lot of Ethiopians eat rice, but only the ones not living in the mountains, where bread takes over the diet. I need rice with every meal too, but there is one thing that can replace it, and that's a good roti, paratha, or other flatbread. For some reason I don't like to mix rice and bread in the same meal.
