(File Photo) Famous Kolkata Jewish bakery Nahoum and Sons has taken chicken items off its menu due to the unavailability of a kosher butcher. The 122-year-old bakery has also decided to keep the shop shut on Saturdays.
According to an employee, the shop has been ordered to remain shut every Saturday (Shabbath) as it is a rest day for Jews.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Jagadish Chandra Haldar, General Manager, Nahoum and Sons, said the decision to close the bakery on Jewish holidays and stop the sale of chicken items was taken by the owner who lives in Israel.
“Adam Nahoum (owner), who is a physician and stays in Jerusalem, asked us to stop selling chicken items. Thereafter, we stopped making chicken items. But we continue to sell fish pantheras, fruit cake, rum balls, and egg chops. The decision was taken due to the unavailability of a kosher butcher,” said Haldar.
