The Great Latke-Hamantasch Debate
Cooking For Engineers. Yessss! In the comments sections of a few recipes I've looked at, they discuss things like kinetic energy and ideal methods for distributing heat as things cook or cool. It makes me sooo happy.
I think this summarizes why Jews are the Chosen People.
And if you're still not sure, listen to Cohen's "Consolations of Latkes".
Even if you're not Jewish, don't understand Yiddish, and don't have a bloody farthing what a latke or a hamantasch are... it's still wonderful for the sheer farcical but nobly academic debate over which is greater. ;)
In the debate at MIT, Robert J. Silbey, dean of its School of Science, has cited Google, which returns 380,000 hits on a search for "latke" and only 62,000 for "hamantaschen". Silbey has also claimed that latkes are the dark matter thought to make up over 21 percent of the mass of the universe.
The criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz, during a debate at Harvard University, accused the latke of increasing the United States' dependence on oil.
Win!!
