    Latkes!

    Notpashut, depends on who your posek is! Mine allows me to eat hamantaschen year round except from Rosh Chodesh Adar until Purim. There is a machlokes as to what happens in a year with Adar I/II, so we are machmir and dont eat hamantaschen from Rosh Chodesh Adar I :-)

    [Mod, please post the comment also. I didnt get a chance to respond to notpashut before round two closed]

    SJSinNYC, I'm concerned that people will complain if I allow this post I will allow notpashut to respond - if done before Shabbos. all others can only vote.

    the debate is over, however, all the votes haven't been counted yet. don't forget we need to check the absentee ballots.

    This Moderator is voting for: Hamantashen

    42, editor - what's your vote?

    Apparently just voting for "latke" is not enough, as you may be referring to zucchini or cheese latkes (yum!).
    The rules said "Only votes for either the *Potato* Latke or the Hamantaschen will be posted". Threfore, it looks like hamantashen are leading twenty to zero.

    to be clear, I am asking both the YW Editor and the moderator known as YW Moderator-42 what there votes are.

    btw if we ask the same question in two and a half months from now, whoever said latkes would say hamantaschen and vice versa. i think it's a seasonal thing.

    Round 3 is open and voting has been closed.

    the vote is:

    the final tally is

    Latkes: 10

    Hamantaschen: 5

    Potato Latkes: 2

    now, curiously, Curious (who voted for latkes) pointed out that "Apparently just voting for "latke" is not enough, as you may be referring to zucchini or cheese latkes (yum!). The rules said "Only votes for either the *Potato* Latke or the Hamantaschen will be posted". Therefore, it looks like hamantashen are leading twenty to zero."

    If we exclude all the commentary and look only at the votes that followed the rules, Hamantaschen win and if we are lenient and go with intent kind of like the "hanging chads" for all those in Florida, Latkes win.

    The options that remain open now is to either go to the Supreme Court for a ruling or to accept the historical research dating back to 1946 and the original debate, and just call it a tie.

    wishing all a Freilichen Chanukah!

    Well since I'm the one who challenged this isssue, I shoud defintiely get to decide. After all, you wouldn't want to elect a winner and then have me challenge it. It would be kind of embarassing to the winner-elect to be dethroned.

    well you can't judge if you've got any predispositions. you're way too biased so you're dethroned from this issue.
