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)
I’ve had a pizza with figs to surprisingly great success. It made me a lot more willing to try sweet things with cheese because it was insanely delicious. I’d be mildly concerned because I don’t really like raisins but I would at least try this once.
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.
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 agree. For example, I love cranberry sauce. I make it homemade and put it on everything during Thanksgiving. That includes Mac and cheese. And it’s really good! I wouldn’t be surprised if raisins could supply a similar sweetness.
I wanted to say “in Austria, they put „Preiselbeerkompott“ on Cordon Bleu and (ChatGPT said it’s called like that:) game like boar and pheasant“
But the European Preiselbeere is just the smaller cousin of the Cranberry, they taste the same.
I figured it’ll help anyone speaking German who reads this, so I typed it out after I got my answers.
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.
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?
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.
There are raisins in some currys, and raisins in coronation chicken. I dont see how this would be much different.
You all thought I was crazy for wanting pineapple on pizza! How do you like me now!
