I managed to execute one of the bigger tourist faux pas the other day. Not speaking a word of German, but thinking I was pretty safe in what I was doing at the time, I ordered a Hamburger Riesen Knacker. And I was kind of excited to be eating a hamburger, after all the myriad kinds of sausage I'd already consumed in my first week here in Hamburg. However, upon trying to order this hamburger, I was instead served 3 massive sausages (bratwursts). Fail. I'll not be fooled again Hamburg(er)!
