in expecting my unhealthy pudding not to contain hidden dried fruit?

[Grendle]

I destest dried fruit with a passion so strong that it can barely be adequately expressed in words. It is not food, it is an abomination to humankind . All types of hideous shrivelled fruit disgustingness should be outlawed herewith.

Why would anyone want to take a beautiful, lovely plump grape and turn it into a stinking scrotum of brown revoltingness? It's a crime.

I spent all day looking forward to a sticky toffee pudding procured from my local supermarket with a picture of oozing unhealthiness on the sleeve. I waited patiently for dh to finish settling the DCs, waited even more patiently for the 30 mins it took to cook, turned a portion out into my bowl to discover the bottom is full of bloody raisins or sultanas or some other such shit. The smell alone is vile. Diappointed is an understatemet. Why would anyone disrespect a lovely gooey oozy sticky pudding in such a devious and inappropriate manner?

AIBU or just a wee bit pregnant and hormonal ?

YANBU, simply for this quote - 'a stinking scrotum of brown revoltingness.' I will be giggling about that for ages

nope, tis a crime against sticky toffe pudding!!!!! (also pregnant )

may i just advise sticking to chocolate puddings in the future

I would expect a gooey oozy pudding to be unsullied by anything remotely resembling fruit ...may I suggest you cover it in a thick layer of cream to disguise the offending raisons and sultanas

YANBU. I loathe raisins - not least because I got one squished between my bare toes earlier, cleaning up after a herd of marauding 3-year-olds.

They look like bugs, they taste like shit, they rot your kids' teeth - work of the devil, in my book. And shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a pudding.

Dh has been to the corner shop... the chocolate pud is in the oven now.

If THIS ONE contains any of the vomit-inducing fruit-impersonating shrivelled little bastards I will be initiating proceedings against him on the grounds of shopping inadequacy .

Random -it's a nice idea, but a thick layer of cream will do nothing to disguise the taste, texture, smell...

Between your toes hester? Aaaaaaargggghhh... that would have sent me round the house screaming!

you should be safe with chocolate

YABVU

all fruit is better semi dried

It'll have been dates. They often get put in sticky toffee puds. yum.

Was it a Cartmel one? salivates

Dates? I think they might be a bit bigger these little blighters are sultana-sized... indeed checking the packet... sultanas are listed on the ingredients. BUT, the piccie on the front looks like a bowl full of sponge with toffee sauce all over it .

It was from Tescos. That'll teach me. I'll go to Waitrose next time .

value dates, possibly? Perhaps the shop was making further cut backs?

Tis lent....step away from the pudding

I'm pregnant. I have given up alcohol for Lent .

I could not have expressed the aversion to middle-aged fruit any better myself, Grendle.

I fucking hate dried fruit.

II am currently searching for a backer who will fund my desire for a not-scrotum muesli.

Would't it be heaven on earth to eat muesli without leprechauns's scrotums in the mix?

Hmm. I acknowledge your ire. But surely sticking a dried out bit of fruit in it means that your pud counts as one of your five a day? Bonus!

I'd rather have a much more fruit to hamster shavings recipe

"not-scrotum muesli." Porridge? With a few almonds chucked in?

Desdirata -I cannot consider even trying muesli whilst it is unavailable without said abominations

Scrotums or scrota ?

Ronaldinhio -fruit is fine by me . Decomposing Dried fruit is a no no.

Maybe I should start a no.10 petition? After all they do rot teeth, so really shouldn't be one of your 5 a day...

I've had six today, as I drank a fruit tea in addition to eating my usual fruit and veg .

'a stinking scrotum of brown revoltingness - haha

mmm dried fruit concentrated fruitiness
mmmmm

wet natural fruit
bleurgh

There is a non-raisin muesli! Can't remember who it's by - Dorset Cereals, maybe? It's called 'No Flamin' Raisins'. Think I got it in Waitrose.

Oh, but it does have dried apricots and apples in it - so no good for you if ALL dried fruit is the stuff of nightmares.
