Dec.07.2007 Jews LOVE ham
The Associated Press picked up on a story in NYC about a grocery store that offered up delicious ham for Chanukah. Hanukkah? Whatever.
A grocery store in Manhattan made a food faux pas, advertising hams as “Delicious for Chanukah.”
Chanukah — an alternate spelling for Hanukkah — is the eight-day Jewish holiday that began Tuesday evening, and hams — as well as pork and other products from pigs — can’t be eaten under Jewish dietary laws.
A woman who saw the mistake over the weekend at the Balducci’s store on 14th Street took pictures of the signs and posted them on her blog.
Jennifer Barton, director of marketing, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the signs were changed as soon as the error was noted.
Yeah, that’s pretty idiotic. Pork is like kryptonite for Jews. Seriously, one time, I walked into Goldman Sachs waving around some Canadian Bacon and all you could hear was bodies plummeting to the floor. I think it led to the .com bust actually. Yeah, that’s right Pets.com…it was all me. COME FIGHT ME, YOU SOCK PUPPET SONOFABITCH.
