It was a Potter/Nanoha fic, Nanoha and Fate had been sent to investigate Hogwarts, and they'd found the kitchens and asked for Japanese food ... which the house elves didn't know how to make - so sorry, can't help you. But Nanoha did know (being the daughter of a café owner) and taught them, so the girls got the food they wanted after all.
Actually, that's pretty much covered in-universe. The kitchens of Hogwarts are full of house elves who can pretty much make magic into their gimp-suited bitch, and are pretty much slaves themselves. They'll even hop-to for any student that happens to find their way to the kitchens, which, IIRC, is a convoluted path precisely for that reason. (Enough that any student that figures it out is left unmolested for the most part, as they'll have earned it.)
Pity.
