Ordering something not on the menu?

I just wondered if any of you org fellars and gals have any experience in this?

A while back I watched Get Shorty on TV with my wife. There is a segment there about celebrities and movie stars never ordering from the menu when they went to a restaurant.

Well, my wife and I went out to eat on a finer restaurant on my birthday earlier this week and had a look at the menu. We wanted to go for a starter in addition to our main meal, but there were nothing that really inspired us (mostly seafood). So I remembered the segment in the movie and asked if they could make a bowl of French fries sprinkled with bacon cubes and with tasty melted cheese on top.
I was surprised that the waiter said; we will try. He came back with the most delicious starter I have ever had. Crispy large fries with bacon and I think it was a mild version of Jarlsberg cheese melted over the lot.

If none of you have tried to order a meal not on the menu, I’ll tell you it was a fun and delicious experience.

But totally depends on the restaurant.

I once went to a McDonalds and ordered a golden shower with a chocolate chaser, as a joke. The girl behind the register just looked at me with a blank face, obviously not knowing what they were. She went back to the cook and manager to ask if they were on the menu. By the time she returned, I had discreetly slipped away.
