| New York store red faced over 'Hanukkah hams' |
| 2007-12-07 |
| 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. |

| #7 I do not like it in a box. I do not like it with a fox. I do not like it in a boat. I do not like it with a goat. I do not like it here or there. I do not like it anywhere. I do not like my Hanukkah ham. I do not like it, said Shapiro-I-am. |

| #2 If the store had advertised "Ramadan hams" or "Eid al-Fitr hams", there would be rioting all over the world. |
