“And ask about our honey-baked ham shank bone!” 😂
Funny — before i scrolled down i was wondering whether it was kosher.
Someone should send the Rabbi over to Whole Foods to have a little discussion.

There’s also the scene where the Rabbi, hungry in the barren Old West, chases the chicken:
Avram: Come here little chicken. I don’t want to hurt you. I just want to eat you.
Avram: I don’t want to hurt you! I just want to make you kosher!
Whew. Whole Foods? Really?
If this were a Muslim holiday, the lame-stream fake-news media would be in an uproar.
Thank the Lord that Sophie Portnoy is no longer living at this hour:
“There are plenty of good things to eat in the world, Alex, without eating a thing like a lobster and running the risk of having paralyzed hands for the rest of your life.”
@drawbacks:
It doesn’t stop there! And I admit, I was once terribly embarrassed for suggesting shrimp cocktail as one of many appetizers at a Kosher meal. I was corrected very quickly! I had forgotten!
I do think the prohibition itself is extreme, and I feel badly for my friends.

What happens with THIS, for instance? I guess it must be prohibited: the monkfish doesn’t really have scales AND this chef spends about six days cooking it in butter. It looks delicious!

I can’t imagine going through my entire life without having tried bacon at least once!
Over the course of my life, I’ve definitely had bits of bacon that were in various dishes that I’d eaten.
But I can say that I’ve never eaten a strip of bacon. And believe it or not, the smell of bacon literally nauseates me. Along similar lines, some years ago, I was volunteering at the Easter dinner at our local hospice, and was asked to array a platter of ham slices. The aroma made it an ordeal!
That said, I understand that bacon is very popular, and most people absolutely love the aroma, texture, and taste. In recent years, it seems to have become a real “thing.” I guess that food likes and aversions are learned early, and are deeply ingrained.
