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 ?

Yep, ALL dried fruit reeks of hellish nastiness!

You are pregnant, therefore not possible to be unreasonable where food is concerned.

Nooo Cartmel would never ruin a STP with a dirty scabby raisin.

but one of the main ingrediants of sticky toffee puddind is the dates

i would be cross if my sticky toffee pudding didnt contain dates in thec same way i would be cross if there were no raisens in a spotted dick, or no currents in hot cross buns!

imo when u buy a traditional pudding u should expect the traditional ingrediants to be in the pudding!

YABU Fairly normal combination, so you should have checked the label if you are so fussy. Good description though. If you want fruit free muesli surely making your own is the obvious solution? It's not very tricky to do, and as dried fruit/raisins are one of the staple ingredients you are going to find it difficult to avoid otherwise.

STP does usually have dried fruit in
But YANBU it wrecks my stp too and i like the shrivelled things
