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.
Fun fact: There’s a cook book for cum.
That’s not fun at all
Funner fact: There’s a cookbook for eating shit.
Is there? What’s this book called… so that I know to avoid it
I’ve only ever seen one copy on an Australian YouTube channel. They were doing outback survival and they brought out this book as a joke. It was a real book though and I’ve sought it to have, but I think it was likely self-published so not many copies exist. How many publishers would commit to publishing such material? Not many. It is my white whale. This book of shit.
Funnest fact: There’s a cookbook titled Cooking With Poo, but it’s not the book you’re thinking of.
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.
Still wouldn’t upset me because it doesn’t change what I eat.
It’s very cool that you’ve never had any opinions about food before. Congratulations.
It’s not that I don’t have opinions because I do, obviously, but I don’t get to the point where it upsets me because it does not affect me just like it didn’t affect anyone else. How I make food won’t be forced to change so it doesn’t matter if others do things differently.
You’re getting upset over people hearing about someone adding an ingredient they don’t like into a globally recognized dish, and saying “ew”.
You’re acting like these people are protesting in the streets.
Have a little fun, my guy. People reacting to this saying “ew” is okay. I also personally think the idea of it is gross, and personally I won’t be trying it. Even if it turns out to be amazing, the texture is too much for me, and that’s okay.
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.)
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.
I don’t even like grapes
There are raisins in some currys, and raisins in coronation chicken. I dont see how this would be much different.
Tajine dishes also use them quite often.
Uzbek plov!
Yeah it would be the same, I.e. DISGUSTANG
I don’t like raisins
Then this dish is not for you.
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.
Desperately seeking content will the death of the internet, change my mind
Please don’t tell my wife. I’d rather set my kitchen on fire than make this for her.
I’ll come over and make her this.
Yes I did fall down a horrible pasta rabbit hole.
How much do I need to pay you for that to not happen?
I’ll take tree fiddy.
That is visibly not cheese.
Or macaroni.
Just put 1 raisin in there to mess up someone’s day.
Whoever gets it has to make the next Mac and cheese.
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.
Could be worse
She could add corn to it
Better than raisins.
Now I really want to try that
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’re just describing Midwest hot dish…
Haha you just just discovered kugel?
This is why we can’t have nice things. It’s a no from me dog
A curse to live to such an age, where foul raisins defile such an innocent dish.
What about strawberries.
I’ll venmo $10 to the first person willing to try it
I will do it live on camera lol
Bet
What if I made this version? https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisins-and-fontina
Offer still stands
What if I made this? https://www.polishyourkitchen.com/polish-macaroni-and-cheese-with-strawberries-makaron-z-serem-i-z-truskawkami/
Yes I did fall down a horrible pasta rabbit hole.
I will double the offer cause I don’t even have words for that abomination
It’s so wrong haha.
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…
Well you must come back and tell me about it later, and then next you have to make this: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisins-and-fontina
Honestly the raisins and fontina make sense but radicchio is where I draw the line.
I don’t like radicchio very much but I think I’d especially hate it with raisins.
What in the caucasity.
