How come when you buy a loaf of raisin toast it's got no raisins in it.....only sultanas?

It would hurt to call it sultana loaf.

It's probably got one Raisin in it. It'll be in the slice the Missus gets.

That makes sense. It's called raisin bread, not raisins bread.

Aaaah, to counteract the sultana vs raisin debate, in our house it gets called fruity toast.

Mind you that's also illogical, as it isn't actually toast until after it has been toasted.

Is it a raisin, sultana or currant?


A raisin is a driedgrape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, the word "raisin" is reserved for the dark-coloured dried large grape,[1] with "sultana" being a golden-coloured dried grape, and "currant" being a dried small Black Corinth seedless[2] grape.[3]

Jelly is made to be difficult to nail to a wall because it has been sent to challenge us.

Sent by whom may I ask? How does it profit the Jelly Sender to have us challenged in this most perplexing manner?
I suspect the aspic is an evil plot to distract us from the Jelly Sender's true agenda.

I would humbly suggest that the Jelly Sender is third in the pantheon of Perplexing Deities, behind the Plaiter of Fog, and the Herder of Cats.

I asked my late Latin teacher to write something random in my book.
He obliged.
He was a lovely bloke.
