I never said I don't eat pork -- I eat it daily.
I just think it's hilarious that a food shop in Manhattan would promote ham as a Chanukah product.

Okay, I came over to laugh at the whole thing, but that anon comment above made me laugh even *harder*. You hypocrite!

Why are 80% of the people commenting here anon? Is ham for Hanukkah really *that* controversial?

I'm such a hypocrite! I was SURE no one would notice that bacon in the next post! I'm totally snagged!

Actually, the anonymous commenting is because this post is linked on gothamist.com today, which is bringing non-LJers, and they can only comment anonymously.

I mean, they could SIGN their posts, but mostly they're not.

Aha! I have made the connection with who you are (okay, xanphibian made it for me), which explains the link I followed here in the first place :)

At least it wasn't bacon wrapped around scallops...

You've also made Don Surber's blog as well.
I've got an old boss in my I can hear laughing at this.
He used to ask, as he was about to eat his soul food from across the street of the business, "This Smothered Pork Chop is kosher. Right?".
Not an orthodox man by any body's imagination.
It was great food though...a chop in red beans and rice. . . yum

How sick can you all be. Eat traif if that's your thing but "Delicious for Chanukah" your sick

"your" is possessive, eg: your house or your car; "YOU'RE" is the correct contraction of YOU + ARE, eg: You're correct!

Why pork was proscribed by Hebraic law is still unclear, and some scholars believe that the Torah merely suggested not eating pork at certain restaurants. /Woody Allen

well, if the great talmudic sage, Rabbi Woody Allen shlita, says so, it must be true.
maybe its a mitzvah to marry your shiksa step daughter, as well.

In the voice of Homer Simpson, "Oooh. Shiksa step-daughter." Also, "Oooh. Ham."

This is marketing baby! As long as the store thinks it found niche worth exploring it will go for that niche, even if it means promoting Chanukah in New York.

I suspect it was a deliberate joke. But who knows?
