Joan Nathan's Chosen Hamantaschen

As in all things Jewish, there’s some debate: which came first, Purim or hamanstaschen? Purim is the Jewish festival commemorating the deliverance of ancient Persian Jews from destruction, as recorded in the biblical Book of Esther, also called the Megillah. The triangle cookie we know and love as hamantaschen is associated with the three-cornered hat of Haman, the villain central to the story.  
 
And here’s where the plot thickens and the feasting begins.

Whether there were poppy seed cakes at that feast God only knows. But records show it was customary to eat poppy seeds and honey at Purim-time all the way back to the days of  Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra, the renowned Jewish scholar of the Eleventh Century.  
 
Poppy seed-filled cakes, called mohn-taschen, were also popular
