Ham for Hanukkah
Oy, Vey! Talk about a faux pas! It seems well-known New York grocer, Balducci's, has some unorthodox ideas about how to celebrate Hanukkah. A shopper spotted the sign "Delicious for Chanukah--Boneless Spiral Ham" and couldn't resist taking a picture of the bone-headed blunder (right), no doubt committed by some clueless goyishe meat clerk. The story has been making the rounds in the New York papers and local television stations.Non-plussed by the mistake, most Jews interviewed for the story seem to be taking it in stride getting a good laugh out of it rather than being offended. Balducci's issued an apology via their website and said they would be re-training their employees. Yeah--that'd be good.

What? No ham at my Tante Nancy's table this year?
The "Hannukah Nazis" better not take away my lobster rolls!
My Jewish friends thought this was hysterical! And in the right frame of mind, what a great advertising campaign for Balducci's.
This is one of the reasons why I couldn't convert.....I love ham! ;)
But a potato knish is nice too.
that's hilarious!
That's right up there with Prime Rib for Diwali and Champagne for Eid.
