I always had this problem with Mexican food.

  - Burrito... ew
  - Alambre. huh?
  - "al Pastor" ok, that must be lamb... it's PORK??? WTF???
And then I order "papas con cuero" thinking this must be yet another poetic name for food, and find that it's exactly what it says on the tin[1]. /facepalm

[1] "What it says on the tin" is a reference to canned food, where the label on the can is important, because you can't see inside. Of course, the cans are made out of steel these days, but we still... ugh, never mind.
