Absolutely delicious and I made it with milk. I also used walnuts as I had no pine nuts in the cupboard. Could have eaten the lot but restrained. Only found this recipe this morning and immediately made it. I had a packet of semolina in the cupboard and googled to find this recipe. Thanks heaps.

Your halvah looks so delicious! I once tried to make a Greek dessert with semolina but it was such a disaster that I never used the ingredient again. Your recipe sounds like something I can handle!
The joke among Turkish elderly is funny although I almost feel disrespectful giggling at it. It’s nice to know that people have a sense of humor about such a serious matter!
