Perfect for the holidays

Someone found this in a New York grocery store this past weekend:

Oh the irony, and ignorance of some people...LOL

Sorry, not San Francisco, but New York.

I'm guessing that everything priced with a tag like that (meat counter, deli counter, cheese counter) got a "Delicious for Chanukah" card, and nobody thought about what was being printed on them...

You'd think that there's enough of a Jewish presence in New York that even gentiles would know better just from cultural osmosis....

Luckily, we were able to find a turkey for Chanukkah this Sunday at my mom's.
Last year, the day after Thanksgiving ALL the turkeys disappeared and were replaced with hams. It was as if Thanksgiving was the ONLY time that turkey is served in the holiday season. After a bunch of us demanded turkeys, I guess they figured out not everyone eats ham for the December holiday meals. *whew*
Next year will be fun - Chanukkah is Very Late, so things are going to be dicey convincing them we aren't Christmas with candles - again.

Ham on Xmas? Eeeuw. Sorry. I don't care for it anyway, and my Catholic grandmother usually served capon.

Oh Lisa, everyone knows Jews eat goose for Christmas.

Just as long as your goose is cooked.

I love ham, but that's so not right.

Just don't put butter on your ham sandwich.

Wouldn't it have to be um, pork butter? *thinks*

Somebody needs a clue.

That would be the kosher ham, yes?

well, there is beef ham (e.g. Bündner Fleisch) - delicious. And a week ago I bought some very yummy turkey ham...

Vicky (who is taking world religion this semester) saw this and while she had to talk it through thought it was odd.


I did as wel.

I guess not having the bone makes it kosher? (giggle)

likely it is as another comment said, all tags in the store probably had the same "Delicious for Chanukah" sticker. Including the bacon, meat and cheese deli platters, and packages of lard.

Yeah, my sweetie [livejournal.com profile] ewhac saw the picture and said, "Um, the traif part *isn't* the bone..."

LOL! Figures.... I did send that one to family and a few friends who would get a laugh from it. (And I did include a link to here.) What next? Lobster or Soft Shell Crabs for Passover?

Oy!
That is bad... In a kinda related story, this Montana Methodist girl reminded the first grade teacher tonight to get her butt home before sundown. I said, "Don't you think you need to go before it gets dark?" "Why?" "Um, isn't this the first night of Chanukah??" "Oh! I guess I better get going!!!!" "That's okay Audrey, that's why I'm here, it's my inner yenta reminding you." Sigh.

Is it just me, or has someone declared that Chanukah is only to be observed by the kosher observant Jews?

I have several Jewish friends that don't stick to kosher, but who do celebrate Chanukah, and some of them might indeed like this.

So while it's amusing, I don't think it is clueless. Or am I missing something?

Oh, and of course as a Christian I am hereby banning "Christmas" presents to all non-Christians, m'kay? ;-)

This has been hitting the local news stories today in NY. (Both radio and TV.)
