    I try to keep my weight between 170 and 175. This moening for breakfast I had a can of peaches, thirty-five calories and one half cup of cottage cheese, 100 calories. Coffee with half & half, about thirty calories. For lunch a tv dinner, 160 calories, plus one banana, 100 calories. Skipping dinner tonight.

    We have raisins and sultanas...what do you call raisins..if you call sultanas..raisins?


    Raisins are dried grapes, specifically dried white-fleshed grapes. These grapes are initially green in skin color and darken as they dry, becoming a dense, dark-colored dried fruit containing small seeds and bursting with sweet flavor. Raisins are commonly produced in the U.S., Turkey, Greece, and Australia.
    Sultanas, sometimes just called golden raisins, are golden-colored dried grapes that are made from various varieties of seedless white-fleshed grapes. The skin of these fruits start off as pale yellow in color, but unlike raisins, don’t darken in the same way as they dry. Compared to raisins, sultanas also easily absorb liquid, but are smaller and slightly sweeter. Sultanas are used in the same ways you’d use raisins.

    In the USA, it's either regular raisins or "golden raisins." I have never heard of Sultanas.

    @Holly Saunders When I was younger, I could never figure out why people in the UK ate biscuits with their hot tea. Only later did I find out it meant cookies. I wonder why there are so many food word differences, such as crisps or sweets rather than the word candy.
