Middle Eastern sweet (5)
I believe the answer is:
halva
'middle eastern sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for halva that I've seen before include "Middle Eastern sweet" , "Sesame flour and honey confection" , "Indian sweetmeat with honey and nuts" , "Sweetmeat, originally Turkish, with sesame seeds and honey" , "Honeyed sweetmeat" .)
