I really thought "gentile" in the original was a typographical error, and that the word intended was "gentle." I was going to make a joke about it, but inspiration eluded me. Now I'm a mite bemused. Is there really a hand gesture to indicate that food is not kosher or otherwise substandard? That's meshugganah!
