Elsewhere: Swedish magazine poisons readers with bad recipe

“There was a mistake in a recipe for apple cake. Instead of calling for two pinches of nutmeg it said 20 nutmeg nuts were needed,” Matmagasinet’s chief editor Ulla Cocke told AFP.

“We know that four adults ate one cake made from this recipe, and they didn’t feel well,” she said, adding that “this is obviously very regrettable.”

I may not know a heck of a lot about cooking, but I know that 20 nutmeg nuts would be way too much for any cake recipe short of one large enough to feed all the people who watched the Giants win the Super Bowl (yes, I’m still so happy about that).
