Are ya ready kids?!
I always think of white people as the ones complaining about raisins in food. So many delicious savory dishes with raisins from the Middle East or India provoke strong reactions from western pallets used to food that only does 1 thing, rather than combining multiple flavours.
Yeah that's strange, I always associated raisins in food as something ranging from Morocco to Bangladesh. Not the whitest countries ever.
Imho in general European food isn't very keen on sweet and salty mixes. Except for the USA who does it all wrong smh.
We have a few potato and apple combinations in the Rhineland.
Also goose with quince or pear are present in french cuisine.
I think traditional European cooking has many similarities with south med/ near east cooking. Don't lob us in with modern American randomness.
I was thinking "have these guys never had an empanada?"
Raisins in empanadas aren’t universal. Here in colombia they don’t usually include them.
Raisins inside empanadas should be a sin- I don’t like having a sweet surprise in what should be a mouthwatering savoury meal
I learned how to make empanadas so that I could make them without the raisins my mom would add.
Yeah, those are the cuisines I associate with raisins
I think white people just try to make their food as hot as possible and don’t pay any mind to other flavours
Pretty sure African food uses it, too.
Come to think of it, what culture doesn't use them?
Never ate Chinese food with raisins
EDIT: probably didn't eat enough
Theres a traditional bread (bun?) in Chinese called Mantou which can come in a lot of varieties, one being whole grain with raisins
Unexpected pastry raisins should be considered a war crime.
Thank you for mentioning unexpected. Oatmeal raisin cookies are good, but when you're expecting a chocolate chip the raisin surprise is disgusting.
Honestly, biting into a chocolate chip when you are expecting a raisin is also disgusting.
Your cultural horizon must be very small if you think it is something specific to white people.
Yeah but white people = ick
Duh 🤪
Oatmeal Raisin > Chocolate Chip.
Yep but oatmeal chocolate beats them all
If this were another race and another food this would be downvoted to shit
You're free to test your hypothesis.
Seriously! The only reason oatmeal cookies get a bad rap is because of the fucking raisins!
Oatmeal chocolate chip, when you can find them, are awesome.
My mom used to put raisins in tuna sandwiches
I no longer feel bad about the things I've done to her
Any food where raisins would actually work, dried cranberries or blueberries would be 100x better. This would be things like pastries, bagels, trail mix, etc. Not stuffing, tuna, mac-n-cheese or other savory dishes.
No one ever needs to question if what they just bit into was a rat turd or a fly.
I'm convinced that raisins are only popular because they were a luxury food for our grandparents and they only exist in these dishes because that's what our grandparents thought rich people would do with raisins when they were kids.
Whatever dude, now I can't stop thinking about Grandma's cinnamon-raisin bread
To make it better.
Oh my god, that's disgusting! ~~Naked pics online~~ Raisins in places they don't belong? Where? Where do they use those?
I concur with this, and also submit apples/grapes in chicken salad should be considered culinary abuse.
Rice pudding. Tapioca pudding. Both excellent with raisins.
I do love stuffing with dried cranberries though! And traditional Christmas fruitcake with myriad dried fruits and nuts!
Raisins belong in their tiny little snack box for small children to enjoy and in well labeled oatmeal raisin cookies. That's it.
Peshwari naan?
Teacakes?
Hot oatmeal?
Braised shard?
Jeweled cabbage?
With goats cheese and bacon?
cmon live a little
Bruh raisins, especially ones a little sour are fire in rice
I love sauerkraut, but when you put raisins in there it's a whole next level. For me it's like perfecting perfection, love it!
Could you please post your exact coordinates? I need to call in an airstrike.
I ate rice with a curry sauce yesterday and I put raisins into the sauce. I LOVE me some raisins in my food.
True and I won't apologise
