Ah, memories and inconvenient homophones...
Those who were in Canberra in the 80s may remember Dickson's Delphi Restaurant, which was a pretty good place for a feed.
Their TV commercial began with: "Discover the taste of Greece".

It's arguably a four-way spelling trap, and I don't know of any others at that level.
(I am quite content to see any I've overlooked.)
