Some of you really don’t like raisins, huh?
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?
I like pickles on everything, but pickles are delicious. Raisins are an abomination.
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.
If they’re not covered in chocolate someone wasted a perfectly good grape.
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.)
FUCK raisins. The nasty little fucks can go decay in a corner alone for all I care.
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.
I love chocolate syrup, but it doesn’t belong on cheese or pasta.
what about chocolate pasta?
Raisins are good and anyome who thinks otherwise is a stupif fucking pile of dogshit, just my opinion though.
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?
elaborate performative outrage is just fun for its own sake sometimes idk
I’ve suspected it’s largely performative. I still don’t really get it though.
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.
And I don’t like curry, but I’m not a acting like an upset 8yo every day that India exists.
That’s not the same, but okay.
Imagine taking your favourite dish and adding something you hate into it. That’s the equivalent.
It’s so…cloying and happy.
It’s insidious.
Do you think it can save us from culinary boredom?
Don’t knock it, till you try it.
But I agree…
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.

I don’t like raisins, in general :/ I wish I did, but I don’t

I would 100% try this if given the chance, but I don’t like raisins, so I won’t make it myself

Interesting…
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.
I enjoy figs/grapes/dates and cheese so maaaybe I’d like this?
Could be worse
She could add corn to it
Better than raisins.
Now I really want to try that
You’re just describing Midwest hot dish…
I tried that once just because I had both, and they were both yellow. I can’t believe how nasty it was. It was one of very few of my creations that I had thrown out. I think the smushy and popping textures together wrecked my brain.
You all thought I was crazy for wanting pineapple on pizza! How do you like me now!
I liked you just fine before?
I mean… The OG ambrosia “salad” has mayo and candied fruit in it.
Haha you just just discovered kugel?

What in the caucasity.
Just put 1 raisin in there to mess up someone’s day.
Whoever gets it has to make the next Mac and cheese.
We live on a spinning spaceship made out of rock with 8 billion people on it and THIS is what people talk about?
No, they don’t. Media just picks a mildly controversial topic and jazzes it up to get clicks.
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…
She’s a witch! Burn her!
You’re kicked out of the potluck for life if you bring this over.
As an european mac and cheese is already an abomination that you dont even know if people actually eat it in america or the media is playing a trick on the whole of europe.
What exactly is the abomination here? Pasta with cheese is also eaten a lot in Europe. Just look at Spaghetti cacio e pepe or Käsespätzle?
Well the proportions of the ingredients are different and european cheese is usually made out of milk wnd not plastic. I made the huge mistake of going to an italian restaurant(had a good rating) and spent a good chunk of money on one of the worst meals i ever ate in my life. But look if you like it i have nothing against you just dont try to call it italian.
Roux sauce ham and cheese pasta had been around for a long time, brother.
Skinny bitches just jealous of our thiccness
Who the fuck downvotes random ass comments? I have to get to the bottom of this.
The bottom of the serving tray, perhaps?
Ill pass
Grapes and cheese is a classic combo. It could work, if you can balance acidity with the sweetness, and the saltyness of the sauce to the sweetness of the rasins.
I moved from europe to canada, and they actually eat that thing. I tried in europe before, and the authentic here it’s just as bad
