  1. Scored some Ajwa dates and halva yesterday. I'm a huge date fan and the Ajwa cultivar is currently my favorite, like eating fresh caramel. Indigenous to Saudi Arabia, I think, where most of them are grown. And halva was the dessert I'd request on special occasions when I was a kid. It also blends nicely in ice cream and is a great addition to banana bread. #food #dessert #fruit #dates #halva

  5. Elämän sivujuonne… #Lidl myi halpaa #Halva'n lakua. Ostin salmiakkisellaista. Söin koko lootan illan mittaan. Nyt kohdassa jossa istun leijaa vihreänkellertävä rikinkatkuinen pilvi. #miehenelämää #kotijuttuja

  6. The problem with opening a pack of halwa is that you can't mrmpff mpfff *devouring sounds*

    With a lot of Middle Eastern foods, you simply can't judge it based on looks.

    Lembas... wait... I mean, halva is flaky, nutty, and sweet.

    It's great eaten with bread (flatbread or pita, usually), or thinly sliced and enjoyed by itself.

    That's the hard, cake-like sesame variety.

    The other major variety (at least in Persian circles) is more pudding-like. It's dark, because the main ingredient is toasted flour. It's soft, sweet, kind of like a pudding, but not as smooth (as American pudding, at least). There's a certain granularity to the texture (like fine oatmeal), but not at all gritty or unpleasant.

    It's so delightful (the "pudding" wheat-based variant) that it's actually served in funerals as a respite for the weary mourners. It contains rose water which is a natural olfactory antidepressant.

    #Halva is heavenly.

  8. #Poll: have you ever had #halva?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halva

    Back in 2001, when I was reading #LordOfTheRings, I had a small carton of sesame halva that my mom left me.

    When I was reading the part of the book where Gimli is discussing #Lembas, I was enjoying the halva, and ever since then, whenever I have halva, I call it lembas. ^__^

    It's really, really, really good. It's obviously not a kind of bread, unlike Lembas, and it's of dubious nutritional value, but it is very tasty and filling.

  9. Anyone know a reliably gluten free halva available in (Western) Australia? I don't think I've given it to my kids yet! #glutenFree #coeliac #celiac #australia #food #halva

  10. Just made two loaves of halva banana bread. Nothing special to look at but the smell is killing me. For an Ottolenghi-themed party in a few hours. #baking #cooking #bananas #halva #bread #dessert

  11. Hey #vegan friends - can you recommend a great #halva recipe?

    I have seen some which require blending and freezing, and others which use hot maple syrup to cool to room temperature.

    Can both of them be right?

  12. It's #teatime 😋🫖
    Today we are thankful for our favorite Uzbek halva sweets to go with the best spice green tea from #Bukhara. #Uzbekistan #tea #greentea #halva

  13. My favorite dessert as a kid was halvah, so I was surprised to learn that some people have never had it. If that's you, go out and fix that. And if you're already a fan, try adding it to chocolate chip cookies. And to ice cream. #halva #halvah #sesame #dessert momentmag.com/open-sesame-the-
