"Chicken or Fish?"

I know this should be in the stupidest/least substantive thread, but ...

Yesterday, DEN-HNL, in F. A very uninspired (DEN-based) crew, but nothing terrible.

The FA comes through the cabin taking lunch orders with: "Chicken or Fish?" Nothing more.

The guy in front of me asks--"What's the difference?" The FA says: "The chicken comes with potatoes, the fish with rice."

I then ask: "How are they prepared?" The FA says: "The chicken is macadamia crusted, the fish (I think he said mahi) comes with a hoisin sauce."

Is it really too much to expect the person taking orders in F to say something like: "We have a macadamia-crusted chicken breast, or mahi mahi with hoisin sauce?" as opposed to: "Chicken or fish?"

[I had the chicken. It was actually quite good. ]
