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!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'd like the job, but the title is nice.
DeleteI'll have the sticky bun variety please, with lashings of butter.
ReplyDeleteGood choice, Maggie.

ReplyDeleteBut as the news isn't currant, did I have raisin to post it?
DeleteI am just up and now I think I know what I want for breakfast.

Delete...I might need to reread that. ;) I don't think we have those around here. If they do, I want to try them.
ReplyDeleteThey're bascically a rich bread dough with loads of goodies added, Crystal - you could bake a batch.
DeleteWe get dried sultanas in the supermarket...but no real life sultanas in our country :)
