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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
I used to like really spicy food and kept pestering my local place to make spicier curries until one day they finally got it hot enough to get to me. I ate the whole thing while the owner watched me laugh at my stupidity through my tears. It felt like I had a little space heater in my bowels for two whole days.
He’s sweating because he’s only just now noticed the cigarette butt in the hot sauce and the pronounced black lines under the fingernails of the cook. The looming diarrhea train is just around the corner and it got no brakes.
I thought this whole “object behind paper against a mirror” thing was just a meme at first because the result is very intuitive and not at all shocking… But then I guess people genuinely didn’t get it? People really can be so stupid.
I pronounce “salmon”, “solder”, “colonel”, “victual”, “gunwale”, “vineyard”, and “indict” all phonetically. I still insist that they’re alternative pronoucniations and not “wrong ways to pronounce them”. If that’s the case, then say “GIF” however the hell you want.
