Russian Classes: How to order at a restaurant

Привет!
Today, I'd like to share a funny story from Victor - a Russian language student from the Netherlands. 

So, he once ordered “neighbors” ('соседи') to eat in a restaurant! The thing is, he wanted sausages ('сосиски'). Let’s use this opportunity to learn one useful phrase we can use here.
To say “I'd like to eat or drink…”, use this construction:

• “Я буду (есть or пить) + noun in the accusative case.”

We always omit the words 'есть' and 'пить' - they are simply implied, unless there's some specific need. Take a look at some examples:

• Я буду есть салат => Я буду салат
• I’ll have a salad

• Я буду пить апельсиновый сок => Я буду апельсиновый сок
• I’ll have an orange juice
