Wince.

pdx42 recounted that someone recently had brought cookies to his office in the shape of the Star of David, with... yellow icing.

This puts me in mind of the time I took a pan of beef cannelloni to a party at the home of my husband's PhD. advisor... my husband's Hindu PhD. advisor. He was gracious about it, however -- and other people ate it. I just felt silly. (I didn't eat it -- my host makes some of the best Indian food I have ever tasted, and I ate that.)

Okay, so it's not as egregious as the yellow Star of David; it's still pretty clueless.

Oh dear! How embarrassing! Well, at least he was gracious. Our Jewish neighbors have been quite nice about the jam that I gave them shortly after we met. They are more observant than most I'd encountered before, but still flexible. The jam, since prepared in non-kosher kitchen-ware, could not be eaten in their kitchen, even though it would not be heated again. It could, however, be eaten elsewhere... like on the patio. :^D
