WHILE many celebrate Canberra’s culinary renaissance at the moment the Hyatt Hotel Canberra has managed to attract global infamy by offering a buffet option of “Grilled Moroccan Aborigine”.

The typo was spotted by the ABC’s Liz Foschia who tweeted it.

Sadly the Hyatt’s global social media team mis-interpreted what she was getting at and enthused back at her.

This then created a global media firestorm which has seen Canberra’s hotel heavyweight mocked in the pages of:

• The Independent
• The UK Telegraph
• Metro (uk)
• Stuff.co.nz
• AOL Travel UK
• 3News NZ
• The Rakyat Post
• The Daily Mirror

We remain thrilled to see the dish is gluten free.
