People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.
Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.
Hear me out. Christmas rice with raisins. They absorb moisture from the dish and become these sweet little treats in the midst of a very buttery and savory rice. I hate raisins but I fucking love that rice.
Maybe it’s a cultural or family thing? So it’s just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you’re done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.
Why does everyone seam to hate raisins (and olives)
They are fucking delicious
Nah, don’t mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.
*pleasant
I think all just ate some shitty raisins once and now hate them forever
Wait does it bother you to find raisins in food?
Oh, I like olives.
Satanists.
Olives are great. Raisins taste how old people smell.
Because food preferences are now memes.
I like food. I like memes. I don’t hate this.

Well for me it’s because grapes are my favorite fruit so it’s like everything I love about a grape is sucked out of it.
I love both
That does actually sound rather good

I dunno what Christmas rice is, but raisins are so much better in savory applications than sweet.
What the hell is Christmas rice?

Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).
Needs dried cherries too.
Pineapple upside down cheesecake… ?
Somebody invent that!
Oh my god… Let me have some
But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.
I’m tempted… sounds delicious and I wonder why I’ve never seen pineapple and cheesecake combined. I wonder if the acidity is hard on the cheesecake.
Who hurt you?
