Do you want worms with that?

Once on a holiday to France we decided to go to a restaurant. Browsing through the menu we encountered an unfamiliar word. So we asked the waiter what the mysterious ingredient was. At that time I was young so I didn't know what the waiter meant but my gran went a pale green and pled the waiter to not to bring her any of those things. She thought the waiter said petits vers which means 'little worms' but later we found out he said petit, vert, small, green. After all he was describing gherkins!
