 | | I have been looking for a recipe for halvah, the Middle Eastern sesame confection, for many years, although it is easy enough to buy. |
 | | On the other hand, over the years, I have found recipes for halvah that are a different candy than the one with which I am most familiar. |
 | | I do not know exactly why or how sesame halvah came to be sold in Eastern European-style Jewish dairy stores when I was young -- the stores we called “appetizing stores” that sold lox, herring, smoked fish, cheeses, and dried fruits and nuts — but it was. |
