Bought a delicious looking ginger and pear cupcake earlier.

Not a mention of the fact there were fucking raisins in it 😡 the little dried buggers just ruin delicious food.

Hot cross buns? Ruined.
Christmas pudding? Ruined.
Christmas cake? Ruined.

Sorry that was a response to OP’s last update.

💯 💯 raisins, currents and sultanas ruin everything. It's the texture. Oooo. A lovely bit of carrot cake you say.... ruined by raisins. Little slimy chewy bastards.

@WetLookKnitwear

A spicy apple cake would perhaps be better. Still full of fruit corpses but not dehydrated ones. Much juicier.
That sounds lovely. I love an apple and cinnamon scone.

I love dried fruits, I have a cupboard full of little boxes of raisins and packs of tropical mix and trail mix etc.

they are so nice to snack on, I especially love Papaya and melon, I was just thinking yesterday how nice muffins with candied papaya in them would be.

I agree - it is ALL disgusting

Aw no, I love sultanas and apricots!

Sultanas on cereal
Apricots in Moroccan food
Fruit and nut chocolate
Coronation chicken
Tiffin type desserts
Peshwari naan!!!

Yeah fair enough though shitty little raisins in a muffin would piss me off.

Sticky toffee pudding without dates!
Absolutely hate raisins and sultanas. Every year I look for christmas cake without those bitter, shriveled bollocks and there never is.

Oh and dried figs are an absolutely brilliant way of easing my toddlers chronic constipation 😂

I hate raisins, currants, sultanas all of the little shrivelly bastards but I will inhale a packet of Fruit Shortcake biscuits
