The Great Latke versus Hamantasch Debate

Description:  Tensions around the all-important question about the relative merit of these two authentic artefacts of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine have been running high. We wish to settle this once and for all.

The leading intellectual luminaries at the University of Toronto will finally settle this important question.
