Ordering food abroad can be…confusing for all concerned.
In the classic sit-com Fawlty Towers, our inept host, Basil Fawlty, experiences some difficulty when an American guest orders food:
Mr Hamilton: Could you make me a Waldorf Salad?
Basil: Oh, … ah, … wa?
Mr Hamilton: Waldorf Salad?
Basil: I think we are just out of Waldorfs.
What ensued was embarrassment for Basil who, being the cultured man he is, had never heard of a Waldorf Salad and didn’t know how to make one.
And I have to confess, he wasn’t alone.
