A guy walks up to a street vendor and asks, “What’s on the menu?”

The vedor responds, “We have grilled eel on a stick, and we also have beef offal.”

The guy, trying to be clever, asks, “so, got any grapes?”

“Come on bro”, the vendor responds unimpressed. “Beef or eel.”

I'm not getting it. But I'm not good at this.

"Beef or eel" = "Be for real", or "Quit messing around"

I didn't know if it would be too "on-line". The "got any grapes" line is from a popular kid's song about an annoying duck, and the pun, "Beef or eel" is a take on the shorthand, "Be for real" to express that someone should be more serious
