What makes me royally mad is to ask for butter in a restaurant and be brought margerine. They are not the same, no matter how many blank- faced young waitresses try to convince me otherwise. Similarly, if I ask for cream for my coffee, I mean something that came from a cow, not some partially-hydrogenated soybean oil crapola.
