      I don’t want rubbery, sweet shit in my Mac and cheese.

      On their own this m they’re fine.

      Do you like pickles in your ice cream?

        There’s pickles flavored ice cream, and it’s not bad. I tasted it at one of those 1000 flavors ice cream shops. People are really missing out if they think ice cream should only be diabetes flavored. Salted caramel, peanuts, sour and sweet flavors. They all work really well in ice cream form.

        Seriously. Craisins = great. Raisins = bullshit bad wasted grape. Redeemable if they’re Raisinets or yogurt covered raisins. (I actually don’t hate raisins, but all of the other options are better by a mile.)

      If you can tell me there are quality raisins than the ones in those little boxes I had as a kid, I’ll try them and maybe change my mind.

    And I have the same reaction I have to most of these types of things - I wonder what it tastes like, and wish I could try it.

    I’ve never understood why these things trigger such uproar. It’s not like it’s poison or some sort of bodily secretion or something - it’s just a somewhat unusual but entirely edible ingredient. And it could be good. So what’s the problem?

      Well a lot of people don’t like raisins, so that’s why it’s triggering an uproar?

      It’s weird that you are forgetting that not everyone likes every food.

      It’s awesome that you like raisins. Don’t need to dismiss those who don’t.

          That’s not the same, but okay.

          Imagine taking your favourite dish and adding something you hate into it. That’s the equivalent.

        If it’s delicious I could have my mind changed, I will admit

        I am one of those who enjoys oatmeal raisin cookies, so it is entirely plausible; but in Mac and Cheese it seems… dubious

          Cheese and fruit are a pretty well known and loved combination (not just fresh like on a cheese board, but things like chutney too), I don’t see why it wouldn’t work (I wouldn’t eat it because I don’t like raisins, but I don’t object to the idea)

            Yeah, totally. I’ve had cheese that was aged in raisins. Fruit and cheese are friends.

            I’m very selective about my raisin eating. I don’t tend to like them in desserts, but love them in savory dishes. A lot of cuisines utilize raisins in this manner - North Africa and Mexico immediately come to mind.

            I think the issue here is ultimately about texture more than flavor. I don’t want a chewy raisin in a rich, melty sauce. They’re good in kugel, which are also made of noodles, but the texture is very different. They’re springy, tender, and solid. Much more welcoming of raisins.

            Beyond that, I don’t really want any major modifications to my mac and cheese. It’s comfort food and part of that comfort is how familiar it is. I don’t really want anything in there. Even something like bacon or tomatoes, both of which would probably taste really good. Mac and cheese is just one of those things that I want to enjoy simply. Additional ingredients would only detract from the experience.

          Awesome! I hope you enjoy it but I expect you won’t.These debates confuse me, taste is taste. Each of us has a unique set of chemoreceptors, nurves, and neurons which creates our sense of taste. What’s tasty to one person could be vile to another. Cilantro tastes like soap to a small fraction of the population. So why do so many people care about this stuff? It’s not like they’re eating rotten food or glass.

    I notice how it doesn’t say whether it’s good or bad things. I’m going to guess it’s mostly bad. I don’t need or want sweet Mac and cheese in my life.

    Im doin this. Chop some golden raisins into tiny pieces, mix them into some good mac and cheese, possibly with other added things in it to make them blend in better, and serve it to my family, see if they even notice.

    Idk why I want to do this tbh, but I am filled with dreadful curiosity…

    You’re kicked out of the potluck for life if you bring this over.
