This, You Call a Dinner Fit for Chanukah?

Our sister site, Gothamist, snapped up this image of the perfect dinner idea for all of you interfaith couples out there who don't know how to celebrate the first night of Chanukah together.
We got a jump start on the minor Jewish holiday with a plate full of corned-beef and cabbage last night. (And we're not even chosen ones!) If we had only known that the rules of kosher dining were now so flexible, we would have added a tasty velouté sauce to our meal. Oy.


I went to a Passover seder in NY once hosted by ultra reformed Jews.
The Puerto Rican maid cooked ham, which was the main course.
Hardly a Kosher family- they refused to have a bris [circumcision] on their kid.
so these jews you know are just jews because they come from jewish vaginas then? why even bother having a passover seder if you're not even going to practice the beliefs? also, ham is gross. also, i'm sick of the c-h 'hanukkah', i know it doesnt matter how you spell it really, but the c-h just confuses the goys. also, thanks.
Shiksa here: I spell it with a "Ch". Goes so well with "chutzpah".
But a Choliday Cham is just going too far.
passover is more a traditional occasion than religious in a lot of jewish families.
Beyond brilliant! As 1/2 of a "mixed" couple... that is just beautiful.
tradition and religion may as well be synonymous in the jewish community.
plus, you just shouldn't eat ham, its disgusting.

also, i said this before; you just shouldn't eat ham, its disgusting.
also, this is about hanukkah, not passover.
also, thanks.
oh man, internal server errrors make you look like a dick and post your comment twice.
sorry about the error/duplicate problem, folks. we're working on it.
as an agnostic jew, i don't think tradition and religion have anything to do with one another. otherwise i would either not be an agnostic, or have a less typically meddling mother. & pork products rock.
bacon totally rocks, ham is still disgusting.
mm.. bacon
Mmm, Kosher pork. Worth converting for.
hey, jt, you seem cute. did i already say that?
You have and I'm flattered as ever, especially since we're both posting about our love for pork products.
Jews for Jesus totally approve.
