We have just finished recovering from the Hanukkah donut review, on their plethora of special versions, and it's time to sample and review the impressive collections of Haman ears, the flagship dish of Purim that is approaching us in huge strides.
This year, for obvious reasons, the discourse deals specifically with the prices of haman ears that said, who more and who less, but we, with your permission, will focus on flavors at the moment.
Tasting more than 20 types of haman ears is something I can not do alone, so I invited a respectable panel of experts to judge with me, dressed in comfortable clothes that match the challenge before us, in the private room of the Goldman Yard restaurant in Jaffa.
The confectioner (and out of "Big Brother" and "Bake Off") Or Spitz
The confectioner and cake designer Eyal Revach
Sarit Novak, owner of the "Miss Raspberry" baking blog
And food blogger Neta Salonim (thefoodnett).
Finally, after quite a bit of hard and tasty work, get the parade of the ten most delicious haman ears in the country.
All that is left is just to eat.
enjoy your meal!

Here's a surprising manna ear, even after many gluttons.

For variety - not too sweet either.

Or Spitz:
Another pastry in disguise, and this time - from Amul disguised as Haman's ear.
We all really liked the nut and date filling, but we would give up the powdered sugar.
6th place: Baka Bakery (Score: 7.3)
Sarit Novak:
Excellent fillings, especially the halva chocolate flavor.
The soft and delicate dough surprised us all.
7th place: Biscotti (Score: 7.1)
Or Spitz:
Get an original innovation - the dough itself also has a special taste and not just the filling.
The combination of flavors is also very successful.
8th place: Tati (Score: 6.6)
Neta Salonim
: Our opinions here were divided.
I really liked the coconut, but the almond flavor that is too reminiscent of marzipan - less.

9th place: Wine bread (Score: 6.5)
Eyal Revach:
We all agreed unanimously: the size is fun, the design is beautiful and the dough is excellent.
If the filling was more dominant - we would have had an almost perfect manna ear here.
10th place: Mickey his name (Score: 6.5)
Or Spitz:
Haman ears are very special, thanks to the yeast dough which is not crispy and definitely breaks a routine.
The content is also rich and full of every good.
Hard work day in the office.
