Berwick cockle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Berwick cockle is a Scots style sweet (candy) coloured white with red stripes originally associated with Berwick-upon-Tweed, England. They are presumably named in reference to their cockle-like shape, the moulding process giving a flattened shape with an equatorial rib. They are sold loose by weight in paper bags, traditionally in "quarters" - a quarter of a pound.
