Hyatt Canberra Gaffe: Grilled Aborigine & Rocket Salad

[Foreigner]

Unfortunate typo error at leading Canberra hotel:

Grilled Aborigine instead of Grilled Aubergine


Australian hotel apologises for offering diners 'grilled Aborigine' - Telegraph

Wonder if this was autocorrect at its worst...

 

[MEL_Traveller]

I tried it on several 'i' device applications and there was no autocorrect.

 

[get me outta here]

I guess it depends on how badly you spelled/fat fingers, on the first word. I have to be very careful with auto correct as these mistakes never show up until I have already posted something.

So, aborgine ... here gives a choice of Aboriginal.

Clearly a mistake, but their joke was perhaps not as funny as they thought.

It is possible that the original request for a label was dictated, and misunderstood.
