Halva

[Jeanie]

Where can I buy halva?  Safeway locally used to stock it, but haven't had it on the shelves for some time.

If you have a Holland & Barratt near you they sell it in there. Or try other health food shops

Hi laurentwink - I'm in Kent. 

Discovered and fell in love with halva years ago when a friend introduced me to it.  Got a real taste for it.  Discovered a few years back that my paternal great grandparents were Lithuanian Jews - so guess the taste buds are in the genes (and guess the pear shape body can be blamed on that as well!)

Hi,

I'm Lithuanian and I love halva! If you are ever visiting London, go to this London Bridge based Lithuanian delicatessen shop called Lituanica

They sell various types of halva.
