Welsh cakes

[sherrardk]

I thought you put currants into Welsh cakes but I have seen recipes saying its sultanas. Anyone know? Thanks

[bednobs]

as they are both vile, i doubt it matters :)

Currants

[smart1]

I was gonna say much the same bednobs - what does it matter?

[sherrardk]

I think sultanas are like baby slugs (yeuch), will make them with currants (well, I will buy the stuff and um and ah about it and maybe make them some time in the future).

[dzug2]

So dried up baby slugs rather than nice juicy ones?

[sherrardk]

It's the squishy bit I don't like (don't get me started on blueberries).

[bednobs]

and lychees - they remind me of eyeballs

[DTCwordfan]

does it matter, one being dried grapes and the other dried currants like red or black....I guess it is a taste thing, so sherrard, whatever you like or what you have at hand. From what I know of sheep food, both are fully acceptable....

[dzug2]

They are both dried grapes though, surely?

[rowanwitch]

yes both dried grapes just different varieties and drying methods
