[edit] Comment 1
I have been updating pages from Zante to Zakynthos, because the main article is at Zakynthos. However my research, shows that Zante currant is not only the primary usage, but the only usage. As such, for future reference, this article should remain at Zante currant. -JCarriker June 28, 2005 07:39 (UTC)
[edit] Raisins, currants, sultanas.
Here in the UK, I can go to any supermarket's home-baking section and buy three generic types of dried grape: raisins, currants and sultanas. Clearly, these three are all distinct from a UK perspective. However, I've seen currants called sultanas, sultanas called raisins, raisins called currants and so on. A clear distinction needs to be made, and a systematic, unambigous listing of what people worldwide are referring to when they say "sultana", "currant" or "raisin" in reference to dried grapes. Some example sources:
M Retik: Growing up in the UK also, I was not familiar with any gray area, from my experience there, raisins were always dried red/black grapes, sultanas were always dried white/green grapes and currants were always fresh or dried red or black currants. I can understand a mixup, since British cooking tends to use them together (fruit cake, mincemeat) but from my experience they are 3 fairly distinct ingredients.
