I was met with utter incomprehension by a Spanish waiter once when I tried to explain there was nothing I could eat from the food on offer.Then I learned the phrase 'Soy vegetariano y no comer pescado' and was treated like a king* for the remainder of my holiday.
It's possible I was the first Englishman ever to have attempted to speak Spanish to him.
*Well, a vegetarian king.
