Meza 1 Dec 2008 / #1i ate a polish cookie/cake or somethingand in faguely know what its called: Chatwa or somethingit's verry crumbly and light does anybody know where to buy it or how to make it??
pawian 224 | 24,479 1 Dec 2008 / #2Chałwa:But it`s not an original Polish invention. Turkish, or Arab in general. Poland produces it, though. Different flavours: vanilla, chocolate, with nuts, etc.I haven`t heard of anybody producing it at home.You can buy it in every grocer`s/supermarket in Poland.

Dagmara 1 | 38 5 Dec 2008 / #7You can find it in American supermarkets on the Jewish Foods isle, they call it halva.
osiol 55 | 3,921 5 Dec 2008 / #8I think it's best eaten in small quantities as, although it can be nice, it can leave a residue in the mouth. I prefer it with pistachios. It's kind of eastern Mediterranean thing. Not central Mediterranean. Eastern.
