"Chicken Fingers" is more of a ubiquitous term that most everyone knows what they are without asking. I had never heard the term "Hog Wings" until yesterday. Given that true chicken wings are very common as an appetizer, and there was no description of what the Hog Wings actually are on the menu, AND when I asked the server how many "wings" were in the order and she didn't use that opportunity to educate me that they weren't actually chicken, but instead just said they were "large wings", I think it was reasonable to NOT expect them to be pork.

And just to be clear, we did not complain; we did not send them back; they were OK, it is just that they were not what we were expecting.

Bottom line is that it was my mistake to make an assumption, and the server, (and the menu), could have done a better job in explaining the product.
