Ditto!! reminds me of a time at a buffet down south (Mississippi) - one of the choices of vegetables was a brown-green puree - I asked the staff what it was and got the reply - Squash. I asked, summer squash or winter squash? Got a strange look, "It's squash."
Between that and thinking the hominy was creamed corn, it was an interesting lunch.
