Hamantashan
We make and eat hamentashen-- also known as "oznei Haman" (Haman's ears) in Hebrew--during Purim to represent Haman's three-cornered hat. (Although "hamentashen" means "Haman's pockets" in Yiddish, we usually refer to these treats as "Haman's hats", since they resemble Haman's three-cornered hat
