Fried Jalapenos

So I ordered fried jalapenos from the good Mexican place near me last night. I was thinking I'd be getting slices of jalapeno that were breaded and deep-fried, like most things here in America with "fried" in the title. Instead, I got three whole peppers that were sauteed in a pan, and served atop a bed of onions, and shoved in a takeout container.

It was still good, and qualifies as what I ordered - just wasn't what I was expecting. What things have you ordered that weren't quite what you expected when they arrived?

Ordering shrimp in Mexico. It turns up on my plate with the head and eyeballs and long stringy tentacle things. I cannot eat that. I cannot eat anything that is looking at me.

@Nayla Yeah, that would take me by surprise! I'm also the kind of person that gets annoyed when restaurants leave the tails on shrimp, or the shells on crab, etc., so I feel I'd be even more annoyed there. I just want to eat; I don't want to have to do work first!

Just pop the head off and peel. The head gives extra flavor of boiled or grilled @Nayla
