It means exactly what it says. The boy has a container of popcorn with raisins mixed in. So the dad is telling the boy to 'eat around the raisins' i.e. to eat the popcorn that's around the raisins and to avoid the raisins themselves. There's no great mystery there!

To eat the rest of it, avoiding just the raisins.
