Delicious for Chanukah

Author NancyKay Shapiro was shopping in Balducci's (a grocery store in Greenwich Village) a few days ago when she encountered something odd. It was a display of meat items with signs saying "Delicious for Chanukah." That's not unusual this time of year, but the meat items in question were hams.

I know, this sounds like an urban legend. But Shapiro has pictures. And despite what one commenter says, they are not Photoshopped; the Balducci's website is currently offering an apology for the signs (which have since been changed to "Perfect for the Holidays!").

UPDATE: As another of Shapiro's commenters points out, it's a good thing the sign didn't say "Delicious for Ramadan", or there would have been riots.
