An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cook-book after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper.
(snip)
"We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind, and why anyone would be offended, we don't know," head of publishing Bob Sessions is quoted as saying by the Sydney newspaper.
Penguin said almost every one of the more than 150 recipes in the book listed salt and freshly ground black pepper, but a misprint occurred on just one page.
(snip)
If anyone complains about the "silly mistake", they will be given the new version, Penguin said.

Good Lord. If it happened here, the publisher would be drummed out of town and the board of directors would be called before Congress.

The tiniest typo can change the entire recipe! :)

"...why anyone would be offended, we don't know..." That statement is about as offensive as the original goof.

Ditto. I think even most “black people” would have to stop and chuckle at this one...
