The substitute of compliment for complement is not the only confusion. The final remark should either be connected to the previous one (precisely as in the earlier coda, ‘all freshly prepared’) or supplied with an active verb (‘is’?) so it can stand as a complete sentence. Punctuation is a problem: the comma after ‘includes’ is superfluous, and would be better placed after ‘sauce’ since, as it stands, the last offering in the list seems to be an unusual surf-and-turf dish.
complimented for complemented
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
