- A Jewish friend of mine used to own a grocery store in Chicago. When
- he first took over the store, he was shocked to find that they were
- selling "kosher" corned beef. He assured the workers that the corned
- beef was not kosher, but they insisted it was. As it turned out, for
- the workers, "kosher" corned beef meant corned beef made with garlic.

- On the subject of kosher certification, the O with a U inside and the
- O with a K inside are the most widely accepted national certification
- organizations. Also, many large cities have their own certification
- organizations (e.g., KVH in Boston, CRC in Chicago, Star K in
- Baltimore, etc.).
