Im doin this. Chop some golden raisins into tiny pieces, mix them into some good mac and cheese, possibly with other added things in it to make them blend in better, and serve it to my family, see if they even notice.
Idk why I want to do this tbh, but I am filled with dreadful curiosity…
Well you must come back and tell me about it later, and then next you have to make this: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisins-and-fontina
Honestly the raisins and fontina make sense but radicchio is where I draw the line.
I don’t like radicchio very much but I think I’d especially hate it with raisins.
I’m more concerned with the rust in the pan in which she just made food for her family…
That’s not rust… It’s carbon. Burnt cheese. Never made a baked dish before?
Yeah, that’s just carbonised whatever
Any rusted pan, once cooked in, will have the rust disguised until it’s bonedry again.
Not hard rust. That stuff is visible from Mars
No baked dish I’ve ever made had burnt bits on the bottom of the pan like this. You know I’m talking about the bottom, under the mac, and not the sides of the pan, right?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
it was perfectly fine without raisins

She’s a witch! Burn her!
I enjoy figs/grapes/dates and cheese so maaaybe I’d like this?
This is nothing compared with cheesy escargot sushi
hey i mean snails can technically be considered a type of fish (its true look it up), so i guess it works
Seafood does not mean fish.
no, i mean legally, for food (at least in america). depending on how its prepared, it can be called fish (not just seafood). the fda is ‘‘supposedly’’ going to make a category for snails, for obvious reasons.
You all thought I was crazy for wanting pineapple on pizza! How do you like me now!
I liked you just fine before?
I mean… The OG ambrosia “salad” has mayo and candied fruit in it.
What in the caucasity.
Gross. Why not just throw some pickled children in there while you’re at it.
Some of you really don’t like raisins, huh?
If they’re not covered in chocolate someone wasted a perfectly good grape.
Seriously. Craisins = great. Raisins = bullshit bad wasted grape. Redeemable if they’re Raisinets or yogurt covered raisins. (I actually don’t hate raisins, but all of the other options are better by a mile.)
FUCK raisins. The nasty little fucks can go decay in a corner alone for all I care.
I don’t even like grapes
I love chocolate syrup, but it doesn’t belong on cheese or pasta.
what about chocolate pasta?
Raisins are good and anyome who thinks otherwise is a stupif fucking pile of dogshit, just my opinion though.
If you can tell me there are quality raisins than the ones in those little boxes I had as a kid, I’ll try them and maybe change my mind.
I don’t want rubbery, sweet shit in my Mac and cheese.
On their own this m they’re fine.
Do you like pickles in your ice cream?
I like pickles on everything, but pickles are delicious. Raisins are an abomination.
There’s pickles flavored ice cream, and it’s not bad. I tasted it at one of those 1000 flavors ice cream shops. People are really missing out if they think ice cream should only be diabetes flavored. Salted caramel, peanuts, sour and sweet flavors. They all work really well in ice cream form.
Desperately seeking content will the death of the internet, change my mind
This is why we can’t have nice things. It’s a no from me dog
It’s so…cloying and happy.
It’s insidious.
Do you think it can save us from culinary boredom?
Don’t knock it, till you try it.
But I agree…
I suppose the goal would be a salty sweet combo, but a raisins texture seems really off-putting for Mac and cheese.
If it’s 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
I’ve 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. I’d be mildly concerned because I don’t really like raisins but I would at least try this once.
Interesting…
I would 100% try this if given the chance, but I don’t like raisins, so I won’t make it myself
Oh yeah same for sure. I’m not spending money on raisins on purpose that’s just reality lol
I don’t like raisins, in general :/ I wish I did, but I don’t
Cheese 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
Yeah, totally. I’ve had cheese that was aged in raisins. Fruit and cheese 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.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it but I expect you won’t.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. What’s 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? It’s not like they’re eating rotten food or glass.
I notice how it doesn’t say whether it’s good or bad things. I’m going to guess it’s mostly bad. I don’t need or want sweet Mac and cheese in my life.
Just put 1 raisin in there to mess up someone’s day.
Whoever gets it has to make the next Mac and cheese.
