This type of brittle—made with sugar, honey, and various nuts and seeds, such as pistachios, almonds, and sesame—has been popular throughout the Middle East since ancient times. In Iran, it is called sohan asali (honey crunch) or mama jim jim; and in Afghanistan, it is known as hasteh-ye shirin (sweet kernel). In Masuleh, by the Caspian, I recently tasted several varieties of cookies, all made from sesame seeds.
