Cookbook pulped over 'ground black people' typo
 
Oops! At least this happened in Australia...


SYDNEY - An Australian publisher is reprinting 7,000 cookbookshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif over a recipe for pasta with "salt and freshly ground black people."

Penguin Group Australia's head of publishing, Bob Sessions, acknowledged the proofreader for the Pasta Bible should have picked up the error, but called it nothing more than a "silly mistake."

The "Pasta Bible" recipe for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto was supposed to call for black pepper.

I did too. C'mon, it's obviously a sloppy typo, and when you think about it that way, it's really funny.

I think they scrapped them because it just sounds nasty when you consider it's a cookbook.

DrPhil 04-19-2010 08:11 PM
Welllll...it's funny as a typo but it's actually funnier as a nontypo.

I am laughing now...LOL

I wonder how many black people you need for this recipe...wouldn't just one do?

KSUViolet06 04-19-2010 09:50 PM
what do they season us with once we're ground?

DrPhil 04-19-2010 09:54 PM
chicken stock and watermelon seeds. duh

:rolleyes: That's not a typo. "People" and "pepper" aren't even close.

Amazing lol

That was a white guy.

I'm thinking Donner Party. No lie, one of the male survivors opened a restaurant in Sacramento (per the PBS documentary I watched).

Yeah, I understand he did pretty well. Was he the originator of the "manwich"?:eek: It's always "more of a meal".

how black do i need the people to be? and is it true that the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice?

Sometimes if you have auto-correct and have a typo, then run spell-check, it will put in the wrong word than the one you intended.
