Waitress: Are you ready to order?
Customer1 : Yes. I'll have the chicken couscous and a coke.
Customer2 : I'll have the spaghetti with meatball sauce and a lemonade.
Waitress: Would you like to try our soup of the day, cheese and broccoli?
Customer1: No. Thanks.
Customer2: Me neither.
Waitress: Anything else?
Customer1 and2: That's all.
Waitress: Let me repeat your order. one chicken couscous, one spaghetti
with meatballs, one lemonade and one coke. Right?
Customers: Right.
Waitress: Coming right up.


1. Are there any mistakes?
2. can I interchangable use "sphaghetti with meatball sauce" and "spaghetti
and/with meatballs"? Do they mean the same thing?

Thanks in advance!

Meatball sauce sounds odd to me.
