This is surprisingly subtle as a user interaction. Imagine the first time the user asks for "pork", Alexa asks follow up questions - "what cut", "how much", etc. There is a whole taxonomy!
The next time, the user has learnt the flow and starts walking down the taxonomy path for pork by asking for "pork"- or so the user thinks! Alexa just immediately dispatches the same cut the user bought three weeks ago. User never trusts Alexa again.

It could easily say: > Alexa: "Would like like to order the same x cut from last time?" [Yes/No] > Alexa: "Okay great, the total will be x and the delivery estimate is 1hr, shall I submit this order?" [Yes/No] > Alexa: "The order has been submitted, I'll notify you when it's marked as out for delivery"
