When I considered raisins I had good old Sun-Maid in mind. Those little red and yellow boxes with the brunette raisin picking lass on the front made their way in to so many of our school lunch boxes. Such exciting times. But this didn't happen. Our local Co-Operative did not supply these nostalgic dried fruits. Instead, they supplied Whitworth's raisins. This brand is actually not a relation of Woolworth's that managed to dodge bankruptcy but has instead been producing cooking, baking and snacking products since 1886. But it wasn't the brand name that grabbed my attention, but the word preceding raisins - 'juicy'. Now i'm quite sure that if you dry a grape, you achieve yourself a raisin. So to have a juicy raisin, you would surely have a grape? Well not here and I was looking forward to seeing just how juicy they were.The bread went in. The toast came out. The PB (Skippy of course) went on. The raisins went on. The bite closed, the chewing began and BY JOVE THEY WERE JUICY. I'm not sure how they did it, but they did it well. And it even went well with the PB. Sun-Maid are struggling against this one.
