Holiday Treats

Have you ever tried Halvah?  My dad was a fan of out of the ordinary sweets, so I grew up having Halvah and other uncommon treats for dessert and holidays.  Apparently halvah is an acquired taste because no one outside my family seems to like it.  I guess it wouldn’t be on the market if that was really true, but I can say I don’t know anyone outside my family who likes it.  It’s basically made of sesame, sugar, eggs and chocolate.  I’ve never had sesame alone so I don’t know if it tastes good or bad by itself, but anything can be improved (in my opinion) by adding sugar to it.  If you’re daring, give it a taste sometime.  And while you’re at it try chocolate covered orange peel too.
