OMG.

I just saw a commercial for a company that delivers cookie bouquets. In the commercial, the narrator chirped, "Perfect for Easter, Passover, or any occasion!"

Yes, you read that right. Cookie bouquets for Passover. Goyim are brilliant sometimes.

I debated whether I should click this or not, but I just wanted to mention that Ashkenazi doesn't mean European and Sephardic doesn't mean Middle Eastern. I don't mean to be rude, it just bothered me.

No, but it is the easiest way of explaining the difference to someone who has no idea there are differences within the Jewish faith. I should have said Mediterranean, not mid-eastern though.

I see where you're coming from, totally. It's just, you know, a thorny subject.
