The Baked Apple

The rabbi of a certain congregation was getting further on in years, so he decided that he wanted to try pork at least once before he died.

So he drove about fifty miles out of town and stopped at what looked like a nice restaurant. He was brought to his place and began to look at the menu.

He didn't really know one dish from another, but finally he made up his mind. "I'll have the...roast pig," he said to the waiter.

A little while later, the waiter returned carrying an enormous platter with a whole roast pig. The pig was surrounded by garnishes and vegetables, and had an apple stuffed in its mouth.

It was a little intimidating, but it looked delicious. But just as the rabbi lifted up his fork and knife to dig in, the president of the synagogue bursts in.

"Rabbi, rabbi, what are you doing?!" he exclaimed.

"This restaurant, I tell you," the rabbi said. "I order a baked apple, and this is how they serve it!"
