Don't Believe What You Read...Or Recipe Mayhem

This a page from one of my favorite cookbooks. I have many and I use almost all of them frequently. I never noticed this recipe before and up until recently I'd never made it because of the big mistake in the title of the recipe. It is titled "Polenta and Hominy Stew", which would be very redundant as they are both corn. This mistake caused the recipe to be placed in the wrong area of the cookbook as well.

If you look closely at the rest of the recipe, its actually a Pork and Hominy Stew, which is also known as Posole. Which happens to be a favorite of mine. Once I read it and noticed what it was really supposed to be, I cooked the recipe and it was great! The important thing here is why no one at the company publishing this cookbook noticed that it is in fact a Pork recipe.
