Actually, she didn't combine them with seafood -- she combined them with meatballs, and counted them as seafood.

And also spelled "bouillabaisse" completely wrong.

I thought about bringing that up, but "boulibase" does appear to be a valid spelling, if the number of Google hits (and no "did you mean...." suggestion) is any indication.

Of course, that could just mean so many people spell it wrong that there's no hope of correcting it..

^This.

Or maybe that's how you spell "bouillabaisse" in Swedish. (Needs a circle over the "a," though.)

Boulibase belong to us.

I see what you did there.

It's probably like "impostor", where continual misspelling has led to a widespread acceptance of "imposter" (which to me always looks like "im" and "poster" stuck together).
