This holiday features namesake masechet and spiels, which are liturgical parodies. Boiled peas and beans are customary features of this holiday's festive meal, and mishloach manot are baskets of food given to the (*) poor on this holiday. A controversial tradition on this holiday is the injunction for adult observers to drink until they cannot keep the hero and villain of its story straight. Another traditional food for this holiday is a folded, filled pastry called a hamantashen. To drown out the "memory of Amalek," children twirl noisemakers called graggers when the name "Haman" is uttered. For 10 points, name this "Feast of Lots" that sees the reading of the Book of Esther.
