A friend of mine from a Bavarian region went for a holiday to Saxony. She didn't want to miss her own exzellent cooking there, so she decided for a holiday flat and prepared the meals herself. One day she went to the next supermarket asking for ricotta and got the answer: "If you wish a recorder you have to go the electronics store."
Misunderstandings between the idioms are a daily occurence. So the questions: "Wie sagt ihr dazu?" and: "Was habe ich jetzt gesagt?" are one of the first sentences one should learn. It will not make you a foreigner. Open minded people from all regions here say it whenever it is needed and think it only normal to ask. ;)
