My friend was being silly, even though she was correct. If the menu says
panini, as a heading atop a list of choices, that's correct because it's
plural. But, to list each item with the word "panini" (Roast beef panini
with horseradish sauce) seems incorrect, since that's just one sandwich, at
least in theory.

So, if I'm being pedantic, should a diner's beverage list look like this?
Coffees
Milks
Orange Juices
Grapefruit Juices
