I'd forgotten about halva! I ate loads of it when I lived in Israel on a kibbutz for a while. You could add a bit of grated carrot to the recipe I reckon.

That sounds very different from carrot halva, and I've also had the sesame seed version, which is different again!
Anyway here's the blurb from Wikipedia, which explains it better.

An ex-GF of mine was an A&E nurse. Do you really want me to tell you some of the uses she saw carrots put to?

m3 - you are far too funny!! You just made me laugh out loud in my under-the-stairs office - luckily the sound was suitably muffled from the computer class next door and no other staff are here - otherwise I'd have been in big trouble!! lol
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Picked up today that Victorian gardeners used to bury a carrot by a plant that was susceptible to attacks by wire worms. The worms preferred the carrot to the plant and as the carrots were checked every morning, the wire worms were caught and destroyed before they set to on the plant.
