LOVE this! My step-son (who is English) was asked this same question last summer by the waitress.

Waitress: "You can have eggs any way you like, how would you like them?"

Step-Son: "Any way you like."

My husband and I just chuckled

Sorry for intruding but what is Chicken fried Steak? How is chicken fried differently from steak normally? I mean, I fry steak or I fry chicken but they both tend to happen the same way

Within one day of arriving I went to the supermarket. Before I had put my groceries on the counter I was asked, "Paper or plastic?". Assuming I was being asked how I was to pay I replied, "cash'.
