that would be hamentashen, or however you would pronounce it.
(interesting story my father recently told me: hamentashen have absolutely
nothing to do with haman! the h was added later, and it was originaly said-
ammentashen, which, in german, means "packet of seeds", because most of them
used to be filled with poppy seeds. nowadays, it's mostly fruit)

p.s. there is no easy way of putting hebrew in nntp posts (yes, I read your
[shiri] posts in .off-topic, and I know why it wont work)
the only good way is to make an image file and link it, or make a page and link
it, because there is no language or font header in usenet posts, so the browser
just displays it as garbage
