    Grocery Store Goofs With Hanukkah Ham Ad

    LOL! Oopsie!

    NEW YORK — This was REALLY not kosher.

    A grocery store in Manhattan made a food faux pas, advertising hams as "Delicious for Chanukah."

    Chanukah _ an alternate spelling for Hanukkah _ is the eight-day Jewish holiday that began Tuesday evening, and hams _ as well as pork and other products from pigs _ can't be eaten under Jewish dietary laws.

    A woman who saw the mistake over the weekend at the Balducci's store on 14th Street took pictures of the signs and posted them on her blog.

    Jennifer Barton, director of marketing, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the signs were changed as soon as the error was noted.

    She issued an apology on the company Web site, saying the company would be reviewing its employee training.

    That's almost as goos as when I lived in TX and asked the butcher at the market for some chicken fat so I could make chopped liver...and he said they didn't have any but I could use fatback...

    When I came to, I explained why that just wouldn't do.

    When I was in Wal-Mart last week, where they used to have the lay-a-way dept., one of the employees was making a banner with that exact spelling but I really didn't pay much attention to it.
    I heard her & another employee talking & she said that it was the correct way of spelling. But If I am correct she had 2 k's in it.
