to think lemon, blackcurrant and cherry flavoured RAISINS are a heap of c****p

[LackaDAISYcal]

I was in sainsbury's tonight and got some raisins for the DC. Noticed that there were a few different "flavoured" raisins and was . why do you need to do anything to artificially enhance a raisin. what utter nonsense.

what next I ask you? beef flavoured chicken? ham flavoured lamb? orange flavoured apples?

wtf seriously?? i can understand white chocolate raisins and milk chocolate raisins ......but lemon flavoured raisins?!?!!?

oops too many asterisks there....such is my moral outrage I've forgotten how to type crap!

So they dry grapes and give it lemon flavour - goodness next thing you know they will be squeezing the grapes and adding sugar to it then sticking it in a bottle

Er no, YANBU.

Quite surprised actually - we've managed to live with raisin flavoured raisins till now....

I know.....mad isn't it?

as long as they let the sugar forment ivykaty, I see no problem with that

Actually i picked up a packet of cherry flavoured raisins in Tesco a few months ago, gave some to DD , which she wouldn't eat,I tried some and they tasted really rank. I think they are full of sweeteners. YANBU

Well your being a little rasinist - if a rasin wants and needs to get dressed in lemon or cherry - then we should let it It will help in the long run Much better though if the rasin chooses to squash itself and erment with suger though - try to encourage this in your rasins.

pmsl at raisinist. As I normally buy a big bag of sultanas, I guess I'm guilty as charged

I nearly bought some just to see what they tasted like; especially the lemon flavour.

I buy big bags too - much more economical! Plus ds loves sitting there with a little pot of them and a spoon

YANBU, I recently noticed that my favourite cereal bar contained 'rasberry flavoured dates' instead of actual rasberry. I was a bit .

I eat actual fruit and actual cereal now.

I bought a packet of cherry ones (sold along side baby/toddler food) and loved them as I like most cherry 'flavoured' things. Did think tho why not just dried cherries, cost perhaps ??
