Me: (mentally) What holidays? What other holidays are there where people buy up stores of poppy seed paste? Bake Mohntaschen? Do you have a run on hamantash fillings around Passover? Do you only celebrate the Latke-Hamantash Debate in this town? And while I'm being incredulous, the holidays?

Oh, dear. I am so sorry. I kind of feel guilty, as though you had run into an Englishman, although I know that cannot have been true.
