That reminds me of the time I was redacting 
the recipe for Aqras Mukallala which called
for sesame oil.  I didn't have any on hand, so
I went to the store and bought some.  I made
up the recipe and took it to the potluck.  When
I received complements on having such a spicey
sweet bread, I had to look at my ingredients
and discovered that I had purchased sesame oil
with pepper in it, instead of plain sesame oil.
