double standard~ “By partaking in a meal on St. Patty’s your not taking on the holiday, your just eating the food”
meal, food, St. Patty’s: all operative words.
years ago I went to a business St. Patty’s party uptown, with large picture windows overlooking the parade. all the food & hor d’oeuvres & wines were definitely treife. I had a drink & left, as I knew this wasn’t my scene, but for business purposes I had shown my face.
as I said previously (in other words)– I doubt your meal would be kosher; any observant Jews wouldn’t be making this party in the first place. JMO.
