        Duke Cariadoc suggested to Drake to make Hulwa out of his "molasas honey".  I just recently tasted Hulwa for the first time and it was quite good, if a bit pasty.

        I have a question though.  What excactly is hulwa?  On the ingredients list for the candy it said tahini, hulwa....etc.  Is it a flavoring?  Does it come from a plant?  Or am I missunderstanding/missremembering what I read?

Hulwa (or Halva as on the can I puchased) is a confection of sesame seed and sesame paste that is sweetened with honey and or sugars, then flavored however desired.  I have tried vanilla and chocolate.  It is rich, sweet, and quite uniquely textureful.  Can't eat more than a tablespoon or two of it.  It is a Middle Eastern confection that can be had near the tahini or sometimes near the cheeses in farmers' markets.
