I love a good typo more than most, so was over the moon when steered towards the latest (December 3) issue of Amateur Gardening. There's an almighty howler to be found at the bottom of  the Your Gardening Week section, where AG's resident cook gives advice to readers on how to make canapes out of winter lettuce leaves. Apart from stuffing them with cream cheese and a dash of paprika, the advice is to 'try other fillings such as homos mixed with crushed garlic'. You can make your own minds up, but I think this is probably best avoided if you're trying to impress guests over the festive period.

Don't try this at home
