    From Yahoo News
    SYDNEY – An Australian publisher is reprinting 7,000 cookbooks over a recipe for pasta with "salt and freshly ground black people."
    The "Pasta Bible" recipe for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto was supposed to call for black pepper.


    To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I want sardines and prosciutto together either.

    Great find, Joel.

    When I was in travel I ran across this gem, which is unbelievably still up:

    http://baliwww.com/tour/sightseeing_tour/35.html

    Describing Bali:

    Outwest is the tourist resort area of Lovina, with quiet blacks and beaches.


    I find this much more evocative than "black sand beaches."

    There were a number of similar ones around five years ago - "beautiful blacks and beaches," etc.

    I know of a cookbook with a recipe for New Orleans Crap Dip.
