The New Covenant at the last supper is not about forgetting to stay Kosher... no?
As I read it The Last Supper is the start of the new covenant and the conversion of Paul is the completion...
Much the way there are various covenants in the OT (Adam, Noah, Issac, Moses... all have different covenants with God, each one building on the previous).

Paul certainly was most responsible for preaching to the Gentiles, but the message was that there WAS a new covenant, as made by Jesus.
It is orthodoxy that the New Covenant is made explicitly at the last supper:
Quote:
From Luke:
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.
