There are lots of interlingual soy milk jokes (comic examples attached).

Though, all this reminds me of DJ Statik (of Das Bunker notoriety, though in more recent years deejayin at Midnight Mess in Tokyo, Japan) going out to Indian food with me and DJ Abattoir (RIP).

He held up a piece of naan bread and asked me: "これはナンですか。”
「kore wa nan desu ka」Translation:
"Is this naan?"

Which is a homonym of これは何ですか。「kore wa nan desu ka」
Translation:
"What is this?"

Definitely one of those kinds of jokes that required interlingual knowledge and literacy to grok.
