When I was a kid, I read MAD Magazine faithfully. I soon became aware that halva, a type of confectionery originating from Persia was often referred to. I now googled and can't find a reason, but it was so. That said, it was years before I ever tried halva. Crumbly and sweet, and I like it, though hardly ever buy any.

You should try it in the old-school pastry shop, combined with Sudžuk (not the sausage - white jelly-ish pudding made with flour and sugar). A fantastic, weird combination...
Cheers from Holland!
Interesting! I have never heard of it.
