YUM!!! It's everywhere in Russia, but often made out of sunflower seeds instead of sesame seeds. You can also occasionally find it made out of peanuts. It's really ugly, like the other blogger you linked to said - except even moreso, because the sunflower seeds give it this sort of gray-brown color. However, it's very, very tasty. There's also this really good... candy-bar-type stuff that's essentially sunflower seeds glued together with carmelized sugar. (Sunflower seeds are really popular in Russia, and Taganrog is right in the heart of sunflower-growing country.) :) Just had to share my halvah-joy. I didn't even know you could find it in the U.S. HALVAH!! YUM!!! It’s everywhere in Russia, but often made out of sunflower seeds instead of sesame seeds.
