When I was little there was this gentleman who came by at around 3 in the afternoon with a bike that had a huge basket and was selling halouva (halva in Cypriot Greek) that was white and pink! I used to check the time like crazy each day waiting for him to pass by so I could buy rosy halouva!!! The simplest thing to make but loved as well as vegan and Lenten!
