Is this offensive?

in October 2011 Moms

So my husband has a video production company. Currently, he makes a series of cooking videos - a handful of chefs, a couple of recipes each. It's for some marketing company in the States.

Anyways....the latest video is with pastrami something. They want the ingredients listed during the clip, and sent a script for this. So there's this list and it starts with 'pastrami - get from a good Jewish deli'.

Now...., is this weird or offensive? DH and I couldn't really say. I mean, does it matter? I know we have a 'European Deli' here. Are there 'Jewish Delis'? As in does the sign say 'Jewish deli'?

I am curious. Enlighten me.

    Not offensive, Jewish deli is perfectly acceptable.

    This. Jewish delis have fabulous corned beef, pastrami, knish, kneidach. A regular ole deli just doesn't compare.

    I don't find it offensive. I tell people all of the time to get stuff from the German bakery. It tastes WAY better! There are a lot of times it matters where you buy ingredients.... Nothing wrong with being specific.

    You already got your answer, but in some parts of the US, Jewish deli's are an institution. Man I could cutabitch for a hot pastrami on rye for lunch.

    We got an email this morning. The legal department wants it to just say 'deli'.

    Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it.

    That's a shame...  a person who goes to a non-Jewish deli won't get the same pastrami.  :)

    Honestly, this makes me want a corned beef special on Jewish Rye.

    Jewish might be considered offensive, but "kosher deli" should be acceptable.

    I am confused as well. Especially because the chef in the video is Jewish himself and actually says 'Jewish Deli'.
    I guess they try to cover every possibility.

    However, not all Jewish deli's are Kosher...

    That is true and I have been to many that serve pork products. The main difference between Asian market and Jewish deli is one refers to a group of people from a certain region of the world rather than their religion.  Since Kosher denotes a type of food rather than a religious group it could be acceptable to the legal department.

    Eh, saying Jewish deli is the same as saying you are going to a Japanese/Chinese/Italian restaurant.

    Exactly.  It's a religion, but it's also a culture and a type of food (kinda).
