HALF-TON HAMANTASH

THANK GOODNESS THAT SUCKER WASN'T MADE WITH PRUNE FILLING....

Large Purim pastry baked (JTA)
An Israeli bakery unveiled a half-ton hamantash. Angel’s Bakery in Jerusalem, with the help of the Soldiers Welfare Association, prepared the traditional poppy-seed pastry Monday in honor of Purim.

Organizers of the event said the 1,012-pound hamantash, which later was broken up to be eaten by Israeli army conscripts, was an achievement worthy of the Guinness Book of World Records. “Haman’s pocket” in Yiddish, the three-cornered pastries are known as “oznei haman” or Haman’s ears,” in modern Hebrew.
