This isn't always the case however, as Clowns can also order more conventional food (but still rare for other costumers), including a burger with four stacks of beef patties or one that combines beef and chicken.

However, if you really want to show that your characters are {{CloudCuckooLander}}s, you can have them order dishes with ingredients that simply should not be available from your standard restaurant, let alone combined together.

A sub-trope of CordonBleughChef. Related to BizarreTasteInFood, with the added note that this is a restaurant '''''order'''''. In other words, not only did someone request a dish with these ingredients, they found a restaurant that honors and supplies said ingredients.
