‘Every dish in this restaurant is either grilled, roasted or baked in a wood fire oven’ (subheading, Sunday Times Lifestyle, 10 February 2008, p. 26).
Careless sub-editor?
The correlative conjunctions either…or and neither…nor may be used with only two options, but in the above example there are three (grilled, roasted, baked).
Simply omit the word either — it serves no purpose anyway.
