Purim recipes are traditionally served during the Jewish holiday of Purim. Purim is a celebration in honor of Queen Esther, who liberated her people from the evil Haman. Haman had been plotting to kill the Jews, but he did not know that his queen was a Jewess. Esther intervened on behalf of her people, appealing to her husband, King Ahasuerus, at great risk to her people.
One traditional Purim favorite are Hamantash, small triangular pastries with fruit inside. The Hamantash are named after the villainous Haman.Torah.org: Food for Thought: Hamantash
Nosh, Nosh, Hamantash
The three corners of the Hamantash are representative of the three forefathers of Judaism, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who were disturbed while they slumbered, just as Ahasuerus was. The Hebrew word for "weaken" is tash and when combined with Haman, it becomes a chant of salvation, "Haman was weakened," by the strength and foundation of the Jewish religion itself.Torah.org: Food for Thought: Hamantash-
