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?

I tried eel for the first time. My sister was cooking it and it looked so white and delicate in the frying pan. So I popped a piece in my mouth expecting a scallop texture and I gagged right there on the spot. It was full of cartlidge....YUK!!!

@LunarOrbit Never had eel here, and probably won't if that's what I have to look forward to!
