BonesOfTheMoonEvery day we stray further from God's light.

đ¸đđđDonât knock it, till you try it.
But I agreeâŚ
If itâs 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
DessertStormsCheese 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)
Figs make amazing pizza toppers. Especially with feta or goat cheese. I could see it working in theory for sure, but like you, I am not a big fan of raisins in general lol
HotDogFingiesYeah, totally. I've had cheese that was aged in raisins. Fruit and raisins 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.
Iâve 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. Iâd be mildly concerned because I donât really like raisins but I would at least try this once.
InterestingâŚ
I would 100% try this if given the chance, but I donât like raisins, so I wonât make it myself
Oh yeah same for sure. Iâm not spending money on raisins on purpose thatâs just reality lol
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it but I expect you wonât! 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. Whatâs 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? Itâs not like theyâre eating rotten food or glass.
I donât like raisins, in general :/ I wish I did, but I donât
I suppose the goal would be a salty sweet combo, but a raisins texture seems really off-putting for Mac and cheese.
InfynisItâs soâŚcloying and happy.
Itâs insidious.
Do you think it can save us?
Iâm more concerned with the rust in the pan in which she just made food for her familyâŚ
Thatâs not rust⌠Itâs carbon. Burnt cheese. Never made a baked dish before?
Yeah, thatâs just carbonised whatever
Any rusted pan, once cooked in, will have the rust disguised until itâs bonedry again.
Not hard rust. That stuff is visible from Mars
No baked dish Iâve ever made had burnt bits on the bottom of the pan like this. You know Iâm talking about the bottom, under the mac, and not the sides of the pan, right?
You can get digestible iron from cooking with a rusted surface in your process
Mini marshmallows or bust!
YOU MONSTER!
funkajunkAt least the textures are similar đ¤ˇââď¸
A curse to live to such an age, where foul raisins defile such an innocent dish.
What about strawberries.
spittingimagePlease donât tell my wife. Iâd rather set my kitchen on fire than make this.
Iâll 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?
Iâll take tree fiddy.
That is visibly not cheese.
Or macaroni.
UrPartnerInCrimeIâll venmo $10 to the first person willing to try it
I will do it live on camera lol
What if I made this version? foodandwine.com/âŚ/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisinâŚ
Offer still stands
What if I made this?
I will double the offer cause I donât even have words for that abomination
Itâs so wrong haha.
Youâre kicked out of the potluck for life if you bring this over.
NeatoYou mean there's a surefire way not to get invited to potlucks? Hold my raisins!
Iâm still inviting you
Donât want to go to a potluck!? I mean dinner party sure Iâll play dead to get out of that, but a potluck where you can eat free food while hiding in the play house like a goblin to avoid small talk! You need friends who can cook better.
So, putting mayorâs pants in potluck does not warrant a lifetime ban, but one little rasin does?
RottcoddAnd 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?
Doing elaborate performative outrage about inane stuff is fun sometimes idk
I've suspected it's largely performative. I still don't really get it though.
PaupersSerenadeI agree. For example, I love cranberry sauce. I make it homemade and put it on everything during Thanksgiving. That includes Mac and cheese. And itâs really good! I wouldnât be surprised if raisins could supply a similar sweetness.
I wanted to say âin Austria, they put âPreiselbeerkompottâ on Cordon Bleu and (ChatGPT said itâs called like that:) game like boar and pheasantâ
But the European Preiselbeere is just the smaller cousin of the Cranberry, they taste the same.
I figured itâll help anyone speaking German who reads this, so I typed it out after I got my answers.
Well a lot of people donât like raisins, so thatâs why itâs triggering an uproar?
Itâs weird that you are forgetting that not everyone likes every food.
Itâs awesome that you like raisins. Donât need to dismiss those who donât.
HolzkohlenAnd I donât like curry, but Iâm not a acting like an upset 8yo every day that India exists.
Thatâs not the same, but okay.
Imagine taking your favourite dish and adding something you hate into it. Thatâs the equivalent.
Still wouldnât upset me because it doesnât change what I eat.
Itâs very cool that youâve never had any opinions about food before. Congratulations.
Itâs not that I donât have opinions because I do, obviously, but I donât get to the point where it upsets me because it does not affect me just like it didnât affect anyone else. How I make food wonât be forced to change so it doesnât matter if others do things differently.
Youâre getting upset over people hearing about someone adding an ingredient they donât like into a globally recognized dish, and saying âewâ.
Youâre acting like these people are protesting in the streets.
Have a little fun, my guy. People reacting to this saying âewâ is okay. I also personally think the idea of it is gross, and personally I wonât be trying it. Even if it turns out to be amazing, the texture is too much for me, and thatâs okay.
Iâm not upset at all, I just commented on your favorite dish comment and then commented on your other comment that had nothing to do with mine. I also never said I mind how others react I said that I would not care because it would not affect me. I literally responded about me and spoke only for me you seen to think I was speaking for others.
Fun fact: Thereâs a cook book for cum.
TakThatâs not fun at all
