"substitute for" reversal redux

[Victor Steinbok]

This issue has been covered here a few months ago, but the example was
as clear as they come.

Heard on a rerun of Iron Chef America (Chef Cat Cora):

> Traditional moussaka is done with eggplant. What we've done is
> substitute eggplant for potato.

Potato was the "secret ingredient", which is supposed to dominate every
dish. So you have potato replacing eggplant in "traditional" moussaka.
So here you have about as straight a reversal as you can get.
