How ignorant do you have to be?

Biblically speaking, there are two major differences between Jews and Christians. Jesus, obviously, is the big one. The other is food – some items are kosher based on what they are and how they die (and how they're prepared), some items are kosher for Passover, some mixtures are not kosher, and some things just aren't kosher at all.

Horses, you might not have known, are not kosher. They do not have cloven hooves.

Pigs on the other hand, I think even the most secular, religion-proof Westerner knows are not kosher. Like you'd really really have to not pay attention to anything to not know that.

So why an upscale New York – yes, New York, home to an awful lot of Jews – decided pushing ham for Chanukah was a good idea, is absolutely beyond me.

Maybe someone didn't know ham comes from a pig....
