Monique and I picked up a pack of Hawthorn Berry candies at a deli along Wilson St., and this version is a slight twist from the Haw Flakes (titina) of yore. It's much thicker than the old-style paper-thin titina and has a rougher texture to it. Also, there's an unmistakable saltiness when you take your first bite. I prefer the regular titina, which was our regular kiddie fare. Before come in hostia size (1990s), the titina in the 70s came in rectangular blocks (around 3" x 4"), and we'd enjoy this during the regular meetings of the Raider's Club.
