Um...no I don't think people order that way. We went to a nice restaurant and everyone either ordered "the chicken" or "the salmon" for the main dish and "the soup" or "the salad" for the starter (it was an abbreviated menu for restaurant week so there really was only one soup, one salad, one chicken, one salmon and one vegetarian option...on and only one fabulously stunning dessert.)

Another thought...perhaps he thought you muttered the word "Chicken"? Like "I'd like the cornfed chicken." And not "I'd like the confit..."

I wish I could credit the confusion to that. When we were discussing what we went wrong, he echoed back what he thought he'd heard me order: "the cornfed". He didn't appear to be mumbling "chicken" either.
