Dieters beware! Possibly the most dangerous store in the world!

I go in for dried fruit and come out with a big bag of candy. Even if I could resist the sweets, I couldn't resist the nostalgia. Every kind of candy that you remember from your childhood is here. The candy pills on paper, chewy red coins, pastel coated licorice, weird violet lozenges, big thin slices of striped taffy that looks like it was run over by a truck, those Passover "fruit slices" (available here year 'round), little wax bottles filled with sweet mystery liquid, dark chocolate covered graham crackers, etc. Then, get hooked on wonderful imported candy that you've never seen before. Halvah is about as healthy as you'll find here. But it sure is fun to forget about calories for awhile...
