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.

No, IMHO it is definitely NOT too much to ask, and in fact, they definitely SHOULD have.
Shame on your lazy cabin crew!
