Question

    Many visitors may feel confused（困惑的）when they are reading the menu in a restaurant in America, for the names of the dishes look unfamiliar to most visitors. Here are some points which may be useful.

Fried mushroom and fried onion rings are sometimes served as starters. Potatoes most often come "French-fried" or baked. If you order ‘a baked potato, the waiter will ask you what you want on it. The choice is butter or cream. Very often vegetables do not come automatically with the meal, and you have to pay extra for them. "Scrod"（小鳕鱼）, "red snapper" and "mahi hahi" are all names of fish. "Seafood" means lobster, shellfish and fish. American beef is usually good and often wonderful.

You have probably heard that in American restaurants, if you can't finish your meal, you can put the food left in a "dogey bag" and take it home. This is quite true. American people don't like wasting food. If you leave some meat, your waiter may ask you if you'd like to put it into "a little bag", or you can ask him to do this.
