A New York store manager found himself red faced early this week. It was revealed that a handmade sign "Delicious for Hanukkah" was advertising hams for Hanukkah at Balducci's.

Nancy Kay Shapiro saw the sign and decided to take a picture and post it on the web instead of letting the management know the very non Kosher meat was being heralded as a great meal idea for the winter Jewish holiday.
"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."
When Shapiro returned to the store on Tuesday the signs were gone. A manager at the store reported that the sign was a mistake due to stock clerk error.
Shellfish and pork are considered unclean under Jewish dietary guidelines set forth by Moses.
