    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?

      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.

              It’s very cool that you’ve never had any opinions about food before. Congratulations.
