Woodcock in Restaurants

I'll take your word for it - the waiter described it as woodcock.

I wonder how often waiters can be trusted and how far to trust them even when they can be trusted. In a certain kind of restaurant, I have implicit faith in whatever a waiter tells me. In others I regard every word with suspicion. in between there are those places and those waiters like to appear more informed than they really are. Even in the better places, I've had waiters tell me things about what's on the menu that I know to be questionable or just plain untrue. In some cases it's ignorance or pretension. In others it's just that they know a little and have stretched it too far.
