"Barkeep, this is not what I ordered!"
What should I have tasted in my Kirschwasser?
2. Once seated at my table, I asked the waiter to start me off with the Spanish menu. Tortillitas de Camarones sounded really delicious. Minutes later I smelled the delicious aroma of garlic, butter sauteed mushrooms...wait..
"Waiter, this is not what I ordered!"
What should I have expected on my plate instead?
3. Next I decided to try something from the Ethiopian menu. Misir Wot sounded like it could be delicious. My waiter put down my bowl of warm beetroot broth...wait..
"Pardon me, this is not what I ordered!"

4. Surely if I ordered from the Greek menu, I should get what I ordered? I decided on a Spanakopita. When my waiter laid a plate of pita bread and hummus in front of me, I was halfway through the dish before I realised..
"This is not what I ordered!"
What should I have had instead of pita bread?
5. Perhaps I should just have chosen something from home, the South African menu. I chose a braised Kabeljou with new potatoes. While I chewed on bread sticks to keep my famished spirits up, I spied my waiter coming up with a delicious braised beef steak which made me salivate like a hungry dog...but..
"Waiter, this is not what I ordered!"
What should the waiter have brought me instead of the steak?
6. At this point I was so hungry, I could have eaten practically anything. The table decorations even looked palatable. I asked the waiter to bring me some Rocky Mountain Oysters.

"You do know that is not what you ordered?"
What should have been on my plate according to him?
7. Nearly faint with hunger, I decided to attempt the Polish menu. Pierogi might just hit the spot, if only I could get the correct meal. My waiter, with a flourish, placed a dish of meatballs in caper sauce in front of me.

What is Pierogi?
8. At this point I was desperate for some sustenance. Perhaps a Finnish dish would make its way on to my table? I ordered vispipuuro and sat with bated breath. I took one look at the cheesecake my waiter brought me and let out a sigh of frustration..
"This is not what I ordered!"

9. I had begun sobbing and practically lost the will to live. Surely I had to be able to get one dish I had ordered? Indian cuisine should be fairly easy for my waiter to get right.

"This is not what I ordered!"
Kheer is an Indian dessert made predominantly with which grain?
10. As a last ditch effort to see if my waiter could get at least one of my orders correct, I ordered a glass of vann. When I saw the waiter approaching my table with a glass of orange juice, I just got up and left.
