Today was the last day of a 3-month locum stint and they had a lunch for me. Ham and cheese subs.
And someone who knew what kosher meant brought in Cheezits (my main vice). But it's sukkot, so I couldn't eat those in the office either.
In all seriousness, I'm never offended when someone offers me nonkosher food like this, and I try to discourage people from trying too hard. It's a lot easier to politely decline something clearly nonkosher, than responding to someone who worked really hard at getting it right but missed one detail. "Here—you can eat this!" always elicits a cringe.
For those who don't see the irony in thanking an Orthodox Jew with ham and cheese, see wikipedia.
