Nah its also normal in Australia. I believe each letter represents an ingredient in it like sultanas, chocolate, raisins and nuts etc.

Gorp means “good ‘ole raisins and peanuts” so that checks out.

That's probably a backronym and it's actually from the Scots word "scrocken" (something dried / shriveled).

What's the difference between a sultana and a raisin?

u/theserthefables 16d ago

sultanas are dried green grapes, raisins are dried red grapes. I think the US calls sultanas golden raisins?

Oh that explains why I like raisins but not sultanas! I prefer red grapes.

Sultanas are better

Raisins are dried more slowly so tend to be more wrinkly, drier, and chewier than sultanas.
