I've been wondering: how much hamentashen must one consume on purim? Is this independent of type or amount of filling? If not, what kinds of hamentashen qualify?
Answer
Everyone knows the concept of שמר את נפשותיכם מעד. Interestingly, the gematria of שמר is 540, and the gematria of מן (poppy) is 90. From here we can deduce that if you eat six poppy hamentashen on Purim, you'll have fulfilled the commandment of keeping watch over your body.
