ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Latke–Hamantash Debate

Okay kiddo, so have you ever had latkes? They're like pancakes but made out of potatoes, yum! And have you ever had hamantaschen? They're cookies that are shaped like a triangle and filled with yummy stuff like jam or chocolate.

Well, some people like to argue which one is better, like when we argue if ice cream is better than cake or if dogs are better than cats. They call it the latke-hamantash debate.

People with different jobs like professors, politicians, and writers come together to argue for their side- either team latke or team hamantash. They give really good reasons why their food is the best, like how latkes are crispy and savory while hamantaschen are sweet and delicious.

In the end, it's just a fun way for people to have some food-related friendly competition and maybe learn something new about these yummy treats.
