In the Fawlty Towers episode: Waldorf Salad, Basil Fawlty was confronted by the guest who complained that he did not get the dish he ordered: The Waldorf Salad. Basil tried to convince the guest that the salad was indeed the Waldorf Salad, pulling his usual stunts and tricks, but to no avail: the guest was adamant that the salad at hand was not the one he ordered. The guest, guessing correctly, that Basil had no clue what was the Waldorf Salad, even told him the list of ingredients of the salad, and he also stated clearly that a cook cannot omit some ingredients or substitute them with some others and call it Waldorf Salad. Finally Basil's wife, Sybil, came to the rescue by making the salad with right ingredients, to the satisfaction of the guest.

Unfortunately, there is no Sybil to rescue us here: the dish has bin made, it was packaged and delivered, we can either take it or leave it. I took it. I am not sure what kind of salad it was, but the taste was not too bad. However, in the end, it made me feel like the another character, this one from one of Bugs Bunny cartoons: The guy ordered rabbit stew, and Bugs, playing the waiter, brought him the carrot instead. The guy said, enjoying the dish: "If I did not know that this is rabbit stew, I would swear that I am eating a carrot".
