In the Army once I had one of my cooks making slaw dressing. He got confused and understood the abbreviation for teaspoons as table spoons on the mustard being added to the 12 gallons of slaw.
To salvage it I took about six cups of bland mayo and then rolled and squeezed successive batches of the slaw in a clean cheese cloth wrap. Without that, it was unedible.
Well, I guess ‘stuff happens’; but we can usually rescue things :-)
