On his first night in Nantucket Ishmael goes out for dinner. The server asks him "Clam or cod?" He's afraid he will end up with just one clam, so he orders the cod. He doesn't realize she's talking chowder.

My Aussie BIL and a US waitress had a hilarious moment like that. She asked "soup or salad?" He replied "yes", she  repeated. It went on a bit with hand signals and emphasis on OR - we intervened. Aussies - everything is "super" as in great, not US supersized either...
