My Greek son-in-law brought us halva when he came over for Christmas day. This version is traditional pistachio and officially delicious. As you can see, there's not much left...
If you're wondering what we were watching, it's "The Two Popes", an incredible film with Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce playing Benedict and Francis. Very moving performances.
Halva is probably similar to an Italian sweet called Torrone. I'm interested in the movie, because it has just arrived in the cinemas here and considering your positive opinion will go and see it.
