Turkish grocer near me sells cheapish tubs of halva/helva, is

It's fucking delicious anon, give it a try. I recommend getting the original kind before you try any fancy flavors.

Not that good at all. It's like it doesn't know what it wants to be because it's not sweet enough to be sweet but it's too bitter to be pleasant otherwise

You know when mdf wood gets wet and explodes? It has the same flavour and texture as that.

Halva is sweet, creamy, rich, and nutty. It's not as sweet as traditional western sweets, but that's all in a good way.
It's the kind of sweet that satisfies but won't make you sick after a couple bites. I recommend with an unsweetened tea if you want to be fancy, but it really doesn't require anything except being put in your mouth. Okay as a dessert, pretty good as a snack.

it is better than any milk chocolate made mostly of crap. Bit worse than real chocolate, but that is almost impossible to get nowadays.

It's delicious, but you have to take it on its own terms. It's basically sesame paste with sugar. So its richness is about on par with peanut butter. And its sweetness is less than that of candy. So it's the kind of dessert that best accompanies light meals, because it's pretty heavy. If lunch was a modest couple of small salads and a little bread ending it with halava and coffee rounds things out.

Halva varies so widely between cultures and bakers you can't get a concise rundown from /ck/.

Halva is nice. Its a sweet made from sesame paste. Sesame can be too bitter for some people.

googled it, looks like fucking cat food, pass

It tastes like oily dust with sugar. Also gives nice sugar rush and suicidal thoughts over consumed calories. Eventually you will eat the whole tub in one sitting just not to have it laying there and reminding you of your poor choices.

I don't like it at all, it's like overly sweet sesame flavored wood dust. Here's what you should get:

- lokum
- mastic pudding mix
- topkek
- puf
