Grapes and Raisins ...

[Luanne]

We were just talking about this with my family the other day. My father and I both like and eat both grapes and raisins. My daughter will only eat grapes and my mother will only eat raisins. My sister (who doesn't live with us) also will only eat raisins. My brothers (also elsewhere) will eat both .. actually they will eat just about anything in the food catagory just like my father.

 

How about your family?

We all like both.

[HomeschoolMamaOfTwo]

We all like both as well. Though I only eat raisins in something else like Raisin Bran or trail mix or something like that.

DS - only grapes. DD - both.

 

Me and DH - both!

[mandymom]

Only raisins for me. It's a texture thing. I only eat cooked carrots and cooked tomatoes too. Can't stand the raw ones, unless they are mixed in with something else that has a different texture. Then sometimes they are OK.

 

But I don't liked cooked raisins, and I do like grape juice. Go figure!

[Gentlemommy]

I like both.

Dd1-only grapes

Dd2-mostly grapes, rarely she will eat raisins

Dd3-both

 

[Parrothead]

I like black grapes. The big globe ones.

 

Dd will eat grapes under duress. She won't eat raisins unless they are in oatmeal cookies.

I like both, but my kids like only grapes.

[Dory]

I'm not fond of raisins because of the texture, but my kids all like both. My kids are especially fond of frozen grapes in the summer time. But then, they're especially fond of any frozen fruit in the summer time.

The kids and I all like grapes AND raisins, but Dh only likes grapes.

I like both. But I am not a fan of golden raisins (unless they have been soaked in rum). My son likes both. My daughter likes grapes and golden raisins. She will only eat black raisins if they are baked in something.

I like grapes. Raisins are okay on their own, but do not like them at all in baked goods. Blech!

[nmoira]

We all like grapes. Kids and DH prefer seedless; I like to spit seeds. DD the Elder and her father will eat raisins, as will I in baked goods (though I prefer currants). DD the Younger used to throw up if she got a raisin, but is mostly better about it now.

[Melissa in Australia]

we like grapes, raisins, sultanas and currents. Here in Australian raisins are the really big dried red grapes, sultanas are made from green sultana grapes and I think are what most North Americans refer to as raisins, and currents are the really small grapes. Raisins are very expensive- over $11 per kg. se we mostly buy sultanas.

[Dandelion]

We all like both, but I hardly ever buy raisins because of the high sugar content. We eat grapes on a regular basis.

[Kathryn]

All like both though I didn't like raisins for a long time due to the texture.

[Lisa in SC]

I like both, but only like raisins as an ingredient. I'm not a fan of eating them by themselves. All of my kids like grapes, although some only like them if they're frozen. Three of them don't like raisins under any circumstances, but one will tolerate them in broccoli salad if I've run out of sunflower seeds and need a quick substitute.

[LaCEmom]

We all eat both, but would choose grapes over raisins.

[Remudamom]

I love both, but only green grapes. Don't much care for purple ones.

[Cinder]

We all like grapes and not raisins. Well, occasionally ds1 gets a craving for raisins but this only happens about every couple of years and it's only plain raisins out of a box. And once he's had a few he no longer cares for raisins until another couple of years have passed. No one likes raisins as an ingredient although it doesn't bother me too much if it's bread or cookies--obviously made by someone else since we are a non-raisin household.

[Crimson Wife]

I and my younger two kids like both. Oldest DD only likes grapes (it's a texture thing for her). DH likes neither.

[TravelingChris]

We all like both but really usually only eat raisins in recipes.
