In Macedonia They Just Call Them Nuts

Me: “Welcome to [Restaurant]. How may I help you?”

Customer: “I’ll just have three cookies, please.”

Me: “All right, and what kind would you like?”

Customer: *gesturing in the general direction of the cookie display* “Oh, you know, one of those ones.”

Me: “So would you like chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal…?”

Customer: “I want one of the Macedonian cookies!”

Me: “…umm, what?”

Customer: “Yeah, the light-colored ones with the white chocolate and nuts and stuff.”

Me: “You mean the macadamia nut cookies?”

Customer: “Yeah, whatever it’s called.”
