Well, by definition, the "grapes" are said to be sour specifically because they can't be eaten.

It comes from an Aesop Fable where a Fox can't reach the grapes on the vine. So he proclaims them sour because he can't get them.

So you can eat the grapes you can reach, or you can call the ones you can't reach "sour grapes." But you can't eat those sour grapes... if you could eat them, they wouldn't be sour! So that's why it's mixing the allegory!
