Umm this is on the menu at the #Canberra Hyatt for lunch today pic.twitter.com/R8KGNYOQsN

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.
