Yes, ham, also yeast rolls and quiche there. They have since corrected the image in their ad. Passover begins this evening. (via Boing Boing)Hi Whole Foods!

I love that you're putting your own spin on Passover, but offering ham as part of the holiday meal...is perhaps a skosh too much. pic.twitter.com/lc2kfHfcov
How did skosh get here, it was in New England in the 1930s
ReplyDeleteVarious web dictionary sites say skosh came from military stationed in Japan, shortening the Japanese word sukoshi (the u and i sometimes are almost unspoken).
ReplyDeleteThere are no sources saying it came to the west before WWII. Do you have a source that says it was used in New England in the 1930s? If so, I wonder if it still came from Japan, but from earlier contacts. The first Japanese mission to the US was in the 1860s.
You're all debating where the word skosh came from but I am sitting here wondering what sort of god demands you only eat certain foods on certain days ... seems a bit totalitarian to me, a bit 'controlly'.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is time to move on from the belief in sky ghosts and just rely on factual things.
