I'm sure you're aware that a sultana is a dried seedless raisin type thing and absolutely delicious when included in sticky buns which have been toasted and spread generously with butter and... Sorry, got distracted for a moment there.The small yellow grape variety which produces these fruit is also called a sultana - as is the wife, mother, daughter or concubine of a sultan.
So a sultana could grow sultanas, dry them to make sultanas and feed these to the rest of the sultan's sultanas.

I always loved the idea that a woman was called a sultana!
I'll have the sticky bun variety please, with lashings of butter.
I think that just blew my mind...
I'd love to try one of your sultana cakes. Look yummy!
ya sound sultanly succinct
I am just up and now I think I know what I want for breakfast.
I'll take a couple!
...I might need to reread that. ;) I don't think we have those around here. If they do, I want to try them.
We get dried sultanas in the supermarket...but no real life sultanas in our country :)
Not sure I'd like the job, but the title is nice.
Good choice, Maggie.
Te he.
They're long gone, Nicola.
But as the news isn't currant, did I have raisin to post it?
Toasted, buttered yuminess is my suggestion.
With tea or coffee?
They're bascically a rich bread dough with loads of goodies added, Crystal - you could bake a batch.
Same her, Nas.
Delish, hungry now! :D
That wasn't fair, posting that picture without warning.
