Soylent black?

With just a dash of Chinese

SYDNEY, Australia - An Australian publisher is reprinting 7,000 cookbooks over a recipe for pasta with "salt and freshly ground black people."

Penguin Group Australia's head of publishing, Bob Sessions, acknowledged the proofreader should have caught the "silly mistake."
He told The Sydney Morning Herald for a story printed Saturday that, "We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind and why anyone would be offended, we don't know."

The typo was in the "Pasta Bible" recipe for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto.

Sessions said the publisher would replace the book for any buyer "small-minded enough" to complain. The reprinting will cost 20,000 Australian dollars ($18,500).

There was no answer at Penguin's offices Sunday.

Gob or somebody already post this story, but your title is way better.

Tis true. Tis a far better title.

Perhaps we ought to run a competition, like in days of yore. We could look for the best thread titles in a designated time period and hold a poll to vote the best title.

It doesn't achieve much, but ... I didn't come here to achieve anything.

What, are you mad?!?!

You should have an agenda to reveal the evil workings of the MOTU and save our children from a doomed future!!

The only way to save ourselves against a doomed future is to take what positive steps there are within our control.

Taking steps forward to solve what you can solve, often brings following change.

Change occurs because change has occurred.

It is all very zen you know.
