If I pointed out an item on a menu and someone asked to read a ridiculous name or loud I'd walk right out. Here in Germany I can't imagine anything like that ever happening. Don't know about the US, of course, but even there that seems far-fetched.

    Some German bakeries have excessively stupid names for their products too, though. I always refuse to say the name but point to the product in question. The usual answer is "Oh, you want one of the [silly-gibberish-name-of-an-overpriced-thing-that-tastes-like-sawdust-anyways]" - I nod, and that's a successful transaction done.
