Why do people hate raisins? They're chewy little sugar bombs. What's not to like?

[-] DrinkBoba@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Same this comic does not resonate

[-] taanegl@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I have found my kin.

[-] WildlyCanadian@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

I love raisins by themselves, or sometimes in food like Tagine

Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly. I love raisins in trail mix, but any cooked or baked raisins are disgusting little bugs that pop in your mouth when you bite down on them and omg it makes me wanna hurl just thinking about it

[-] exu@feditown.com 2 points 1 year ago

They're fine as long as they're inside the baked good. Won't get roasted too much there.
Those burnt one on the surface are terrible.

Someone who cannot appreciate the joy of a Fly Cemetery Biscuit smh

Raisins are fine until you eat a cookie expecting chocolate chips and get a raisins instead.

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

Chocolate chips are fine until you eat a cookie expecting raisins and get chocolate chips instead.

[-] TopShelfVanilla@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are trash.

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I respectfully disagree and look forward to each one of them.

Also: this Comic makes no sense. Raisins are awesome (if done right in baking)!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

If they don't have worms in them.

[-] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Except I don't want to live my life expecting raisins in my cookies.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

The best have both

To the American palate natural sugars taste like sour lemons. The rest of the world goes crazy for sultanas or raisins in things because they are such a sweet little surprise. To Americans raised on a steady diet of factory brewed high fructose corn syrup, they seem to offend and overwhelm their senses.

I hear so much raisin hate on American podcasts etc. I'll never understand it.

[-] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I'm from Europe and I don't like raisins. 🤷‍♂️

You're not far wrong, but the corollary is it's really hard to avoid unless you're fairly nutrition aware. After moving away I lost several kilo in a year by accident. Eating normal food and living someplace walkable does a lot.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Even the pastry in the meme is a "pain au raisin" which they've just put.... icing sugar on top of 🤢

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol that's absurd hahaha People have different palletes and culture and socioeconomic history. To just slash out us little Americans for a quick jab is ignorant at best. Everyone loves fruit in America. Everyone on earth loves fruit. Put that pet theory to rest.

For what it's worth, I love raisins in bread, cereal, salads and cookie and I'm American as they come.

Someone gave out little boxes of raisins on Halloween. I poured them into my mouth. They had worms in them. To this day I'm suspicious of raisins.

[-] SoyaSuki@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Damn it, man! I just bought a big pack of those little boxes of raisins for my toddler yesterday. Now I'm gonna remember this and instinctively check the damn box before I give them to her. Thanks a lot!!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Well I hope you do! Just pour the raisins into your palm, see that they're fine, put them back in the little box for the kid to pinch out one at a time. Meanwhile, put all the little boxes in a ziplock bag to keep pantry moths out. If you want to be extra sure, I think if you froze them for a day or two you'd probably kill anything that was already in there.

[-] JustAManOnAToilet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah your previous piece of candy had a powerful hallucinogen in it.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I love raisins on their own. And in raisin brand for some reason. But I strongly dislike their texture in baked goods such as cinnamon buns or cookies.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

They look and feel like I'm eating little roaches embedded in my food.

[-] Domriso@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It's the best part!

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

For me it's the texture that causes issues. I love grapes, but dry them out and suddenly they make me nauseous.

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

They taste like stale air, in my opinion.

[-] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

I like the golden raisins, take them when I hike and camp usually.

[-] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

They taste like nothing to me. Feels like I'm chewing used gum or something.
