Definition: [HAH-mahn-tah-shuhn] These small triangular pastries hold a sweet 
filling, either of honey-poppy seed, prune or apricot. They're one of the 
traditional sweets of Purim, a festive Jewish holiday. Also called Haman's 
hats after Haman, the wicked prime minister of Persia who plotted the 
extermination of Persian Jews. Haman's plot was foiled at the last minute and 
the joyous festival of Purim was proclaimed in celebration.
