I'm setting the bar low this year. I have resolved to figure out what the heck the difference is between raisins and sultanas, both of which are marketed separately in this country. They look identical, but sultanas are about a third of the price. Lo and behold, I've already completed a resolution. Granted, it feels like cheating since I found an answer so readily on Wikipedia. I know the suspense is killing you, so the short answer is that they're different kinds of grapes. Amusingly, the reason they don't market sultanas as such in the States is because all our raisins come from that varietal of grape... proving that we have cheap, plebeian tastes.
