'Hanukkah Hams'

[Trumpeldor]

A posh food store in New York's Greenwich Village has found itself red faced after offering hams for sale with the slogan "Delicious for Hanukkah," the current Jewish religious holiday.

The non-kosher labelling was spotted at the weekend by Manhattan novelist Nancy Kay Shapiro, 46, who decided instead of alerting management to take a picture of the unorthodox sign and post it on the Internet.

"I just thought it was funny," Shapiro, who described herself as an unobservant Jew, told the New York Post. "I wasn't offended in any way. I just thought, here's somebody who knows nothing about what Jews eat."

By the time Shapiro returned to the store on Tuesday, the first night of Hanukkah, the signs had vanished, the newspaper reported.

A manager at the Balducci's gourmet grocery store told the newspaper that the sign was a mistake and blamed it on a stock clerk.

Pork and shellfish are among the foods considered unclean under Jewish law.

It was no accident. Don't think New York's self-haters wouldn't buy it.

How could management of any "posh" food store in New York City not know that.  Obviously some there thought it was funny too.

It's entirely possible that some black idiot from the projects who got an AA job didn't know Jews don't eat pork.

If it were a 'ham for eid' we would have seen embassies burn, seething and marching, threats, cair calling for apologies and plenty of groveling by officials

Haha, good point. Somebody should come up with the idea of launching a food drive for the starving children of Afghanistan, and soliciting donations of Spam.
