A 'Subtle' Seasonal Message

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 06:49pm on 2008-03-19

Being a goy, I am inadequately exposed to opportunities to consume hamentashen. Especially the poppy-seed ones.

[makes starving-puppy eyes]

[This would be the usage of the word 'subtle' in which one deliberately overpronounces the 'b'.]

I suggest use of a trebuchet. A big one.

So, dude - what're you wearing this year?
PuppyBoy is going to be a cowboy, or Batman.
I am probably going to figure out how to wear
one of my tiaras w/something, & WombatGirl is
going to be the Angel of Death.
Yup, you read that right.
We decided it was certainly a Jewish costume!

Too discomobulated to make them this year, I'm afraid — not that I could get them to you afterward.

You're in luck, If you make the effort to come visit me in Rockville, I will present you with some lovely homebaked hamantaschen... not just poppy seed, but also nutella, apricot and raspberry jam falvored.
I'll be here....

They are yummy, aren't they? Yeah, I'm goy, as well, but I work in a Jew-rich environment.

I like them too, but I'm not sure I can eat them anymore. Most of the recipes I've seen seem to call for butter, and I'm assuming any commercially-available ones would be buttery. Dairy is right out for me. *sulk*

I'd ask around to see if I could get someone to make some for me -- I can't make them myself since I not only suck at baking but my oven hasn't worked in months and my landlady won't fix it -- but I also don't know anyone who knows how. To steal sjo's phrase, Soviet Canuckistan is not a particularly "Jew-rich environment" to start with, and Whitebreadville even less so. (Which makes me, a somewhat-Hebrew-speaking goy with a Scottish last name, a real oddity.)

Um, almost no real hamantaschen recipes will call for butter - people will want to eat them after the seudah (festive meal) and traditionally festive meal means meat (I don't, but I'm just saying,that's the tradition)-no meat and milk together. In fact, I've never *seen* a recipe for hamantaschen, or for that matter oznei haman (which contrary to popular opinion, are *not* just the Israeli way of saying hamantaschen, they are their own thing, but you can only get them where there's a big persian population) which has any dairy at all - the only exception to this being the recent affection for filling them with nutella or other chocolate, which of course need not be dairy, but often is (except for nutella, which definitely is) my point being that if you want to eat them, ask for the pareve ones - which is almost all of them.

what kolraashgadol said. Any recipe that calls for butter is not for a hamentash. it is for a tart/tort.

G-d, I hate those things - especially the poppy seed ones!
Luckily, I have children who do not get very many sweets; I will
see if/how I can pawn them off on them....

Startling evaluation: Fig Newtons® are really goyisher Hamentashen, just mushier.

I love Fig Newtons by Ariel Cinii

I love Fig Newtons�
And all their incarnations,
Even off-brand imitations.
Baked organics wrapped in cake,
I'll munch them even half awake.
Soft and sweet their fruity flesh,
While listening to old John Tesh,
I've loved them since my youngest day.
This classic icon's here to stay.
