I think that’s more than 6 half-pints.
Exactly what I thought…although they do say it’s ABOUT 6 half-pints.
But where will I find 5 other Melissa Gilberts?
“5 other Melissa Gilberts” = epic win.
After reading the recipe, I’ve concluded that this numbers must be pronounced “4–no, 7–no, 4–no, 1–no, 8–no, 2–no, 8″.
Would have been even funnier if it had been 867 5309 … cups blackberries.
;-)
I recognize a child of the early 80s when I see one.
I don’t get the joke. Clarify for this dumbass, please?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/867-5309/Jenny
First hit when googling “867 5309″.
Oh how I love that song!
But is it more than three pints?
I have to find that many GOOD blackberries?!
Maybe they’re GOOD lilliputian blackberries? But that should have been specified in the recipe. ;)
You’re such a cutie.
Not to mention that it looks absolutely disgusting. Who wants to eat white bread soaked in berry juice!
You said “berry juice”.
LOL!
No joke: up close, summer pudding it looks like a used maxi pad. And it does taste just like you suggest: Wonder bread dunked in juice until it’s a soggy mush. Yum-o. Whoever invented this dessert (and anyone who continues to make it) was making a passive-aggressive statement or something.
GREAT visual image that I’m sure will make many of us hustle right out to try that recipe. LMFAO.
Prep time 35 minutes? I think not…considering you’re dealing with four million, seven hundred forty one thousand eight hundred and twenty eight
cups of blackberries.
4741828 cups I might could do, but the “plus more for serving” is what *really* pushes it out of my budget’s limits.
Right. I was ready to splurge…then that bad news.
For some reason this made me laugh insanely hard.
Just shows how inept the Food Network is.
I could use a job. I’d love to proofread and get paid.
Yes, yes, yes. Completely agree.
I’m just concerned that 3/4 of a cup of sugar isn’t nearly enough for that many blackberries
They’re naturally sweet!
According to my calculations, the amount of sugar in the recipe would go up to 592,728.5 cups to maintain the proper ratio ridiculousness.
Insulin, anyone?
There’s a reason they are called Food Network web monkeys.
I was wondering what I was gonna do with all those berries in the freezer……
And why does it read ‘about 6 half pints’? Why don’t they just say 3 pints? Oh, wait! They can’t do their multiplication tables….1 times 1 is 1, 2 times 1 is 2…..
@Byrdie, you can do that thar cipherin’ can ya?
I think it’s a phone number.
This happens more than you know. Recently on a Melissa McBacon’s recipe they left out the what amount of pork tenderloin. She’s not the only ding-dong at FN.
Is someone on the inside of Food Network intentionally sabotaging their website? :-p
That might take two trip the the grocery store.
LMAO
I wonder how many servings this ‘pudding’ would yield…
Is Susie too busy trying to find outfits and jewelry for her appearances on TNFNS to oversee the website monkeys?
Their site is on par with most newspaper sites—which basically means it sucks and is about 7 years behind the times.
I can’t believe the people at FN would let this one slip. Well, I can believe it, but it’s just too hilarious not to notice.
It’s STILL up like this! (I love that one of the comments, apparently in all seriousness, said that it was “a little pricey” to prepare. I would think!)
I accidently put in 4741829 cups and totally bombed the recipe. #epicfail
And it just gets worse!
“1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice unsalted butter, or the dish”
Well…shoot. It’s fixed.
However. It now reads 8 cups (about 6 half pints). Ummmmm….a half pint IS a cup…so wouldn’t that be 8 half pints?
I think they really just want to keep everybody on their toes.
That’s what I was wondering, Linda. A pint is two cups. So a half a pint is a cup. So 6 half pints is really 6 cups. And 6 half-pints is 3 pints.
Perhaps they were putting in the half-pint measurement because blackberries are sold in half-pint containers at the store?
But still. 8 cups is still not 6 half pints. I’m so confused.
I like that below the 4 million (and counting) cups of berries it says “plus more for serving”.
LOL! I think I would need to buy a berry farm to get that kind of quantity. I like how the recipe star rating went down since that screen cap was taken, too. Double fail.
