Sneaky foods: When you order one thing and it doesn't quite look the part!

Have you ever ordered something at a restaurant and when the waiter brings it out, you look at it and think the wait staff is playing a trick on you?

I’m not talking about food that looks terrible or gross or unappetizing.

I’m talking about this poached egg atop the avocado toast I ordered at the restaurant in the Riviera Hotel Palm in Springs, California

What does it look like to you?

Yeah, it sort of looks like a poached egg.

But I honestly thought they plopped a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of my bed of greens and pickled red onions.

Avocado toast with candied bacon, spring greens, pickled red onions, and a poached egg. Or is it a poached egg?

I’m not saying I would be above eating vanilla ice cream with this combination of foods (that might be another topic of discussion), but has anyone else been tricked by the presentation of the food before?

Comment below: Tell me what you ordered and what you thought it was when they brought it out
