Re: Happy Purim!
Aheurserus is the Greek, אחשורש the Hebrew, and Xerxes the Persian, at least according to Olmstead's History of the Persian Empire.
How they got Aheurserus from Xerxes is unclear to me, but apparently the dates, and Hamen, add up.
The cabbage and poppyseeds is really good, but I think poppyseeds were in *everything*. I prefer charnushka myself.
