What is citron?

Something citrous obviously - but - what?

Here sultanas and raisins are different things - that is they come in different packets. We don't see them labled with the grape they originated from either - at least not in the supermarkets I frequent.

I think that cooking methods and ingredients tend to last - being passed down the distaff line.

A man might look back on the work his grandfather had to do with amusement or distain, but remember his childhood dinners with fondness.
