hamantashen


ive been rather disappointed this year, not as many midwood bakeries have poppy seed /moon hamantashen which are my favorite. i went to isaacs bakery and ostrovitky's on avenue j . ostravitsky's tried to pass off a poppy seed pastry as a hamantashen instead of admitting all they had was prune and apricot. weiss's bakery on m only had small poppy seed hamantashen, not the large ones. schrieber's on avenue m had small poppy seed hamantashen , but they didnt have any large hamantashen when i was in their store today. ostrovitsky's hamantashen are some of the best in midwood in my opinion, but they only get half a vote because i had to have a prune one instead of a poppy one this year. i dont especially like apricot hamantashen, but every bakery seems to carry them.


i ended up getting hamantashen from schrieber's . i actually bought the less desirable apricot as well as my favorite poppy ones. i need some shalach manos supplies that i wont be tempted to eat before purim. i DEFINITELY wont be eating the apricot ones.

Get Chocolate Hamantashen, I don't many people that like those...
Poppy is good in cake, but don't I don't thing it goes well with the Hamantashen dough.

your welcome mike.
moshe- i havent tried the cheese hamantashen at pomagranate yet, but it sounds good. i havent tried meyer's either.
my mom used to make hamantashen with cherry pie filling in them. they were delicious. much better than apricot ones or raspberry ones.
