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

[–] droans@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I'm tired of pretending I don't.

Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorites! I don't bake them often because I eat way too many cookies when I do.

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

People get angry with me for saying that oatmeal raisin is better than chocolate chip.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I love oatmeal raisin cookies, hold or majorly reduce the raisins. Cookie part tastes great because oatmeal is awesome.

[–] Peaty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Have you ever tried aging the dough in the fridge for a few days? It makes the oatmeal softer while the outside gets crisp.

Nah, don't mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.

*pleasant

I think y'all just ate some shitty raisins once and now hate them forever

[–] Ravaja@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What even is a good raisin? A grape?

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Grapes are so much better than raisins, holy shit. And so god damn good with cheese.

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Wait does it bother you to find raisins in food?

[–] loki_d20@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Literally two ingredients common in saltenas.

Olives are great. Raisins taste how old people smell.

[–] AyuTsukasa@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] poinck@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, I like olives.

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because food preferences are now memes.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I like food. I like memes. I don't hate this.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kjatten@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That does actually sound rather good

[–] superfes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pineapple upside down cheesecake... ?

Somebody invent that!

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh my god... Let me have some

[–] poinck@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What the hell is Christmas rice?

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Inquiring minds wants to know

[–] JGrffn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Posted an explanation in this comment chain!

[–] JGrffn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] poinck@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).

[–] Peaty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Needs dried cherries too.
