You don’t need to drink to appreciate the taste of a good latke. Hamentashen are good when you’re drunk.
I’ve had hamentashen be re-gifted (re-mishloach manosed?) to me. If people are giving them away, they can’t be that good. On the other hand, any Chanukah party I go to never has enough latkes – as soon as they come out of the kitchen , they’re all grabbed and eaten!
