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

      Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment

        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

        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.

      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.

      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.

          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 have a hypothesis that all the raisin haters out there are super chocolate lovers. And they are just mad that it’s raisins and not chocolate. I’m not saying all chocolate lovers are raisin haters, but that all raisin haters are chocolate lovers.

    Last I checked raisins aren’t harvested with slave labor and deforestation, learn to enjoy raisins they are amazing

      One of my absolute favourite candy that’s common in Germany is raisins in chocolate:

      This one even says “Jeden Tag” (“every day”) on the packing!

      I can add my sample size of one to your research. I don’t mind raisins but I love chocolate. Chocolate covered raisins are acceptable, for instance. The disappointment is what really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

      While I certainly do like chocolate chip cookies, where cinnamon buns are concerned, I don’t want to replace the raisins with anything. I’ll pick them out and eat just the cinnamon bun. So it’s definitely the raisins, with their unquenchable evil.

      Nah, I really dislike raisins and, despite liking chocolate, I am not a super chocolate lover.

      Not much of a sweet tooth at all.

      I do love fruits though, but am not a huge fan of dried fruit which is what raisins are.

      I feel like raisins are always in the wrong place, and for everyone this place is different. But when they are in the wrong place, you immediately notice and and go “WHYYY”. Hence raisins bad. Also chocolate sucks.

    Hey, people that hate raisins, I’m curious how you feel about fresh grapes. Is this an issue with the whole thing, or just dried fruit?

      I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. Definitely wouldn’t put them in any pantries.

      Fresh grapes are amazing.

      Not really big on dry fruit. Haven’t really been that adventurous with that stuff though.

      I think raisins in pantries is more about a random sour or texture rather than the actual raisin being bad tasting.

      A cinnamon roll tastes amazing without raisins. Putting sour chewy landmines in it does not make it any better.

        Wait a moment, raisins taste sour for you? You sure you’re not confusing it for cranberries or anything? Don’t wanna discredit you or anything, I’m genuinely curious, because to me raisins taste as sweet as it gets.

          I mean, it’s been a while since I have had a cinnamon roll with raisins

          But I do feel like they were tangy and not as sweet as the cinnamon roll

          There are probably sweeter raisins and more sour raisins, just like grapes.

      Just dried fruit. I love fresh grapes.

      I think it’s about the combination of sweetness and gummy texture. I dislike gummy candy as well.

    They tell you that having a kid changes you but I was not prepared to freaking love raisins from literally one day to the next. Ever since I popped out that kid I fucking love raisins. Didn’t like them in pregnancy, didn’t like them before, one day plopp and goddamn raisins are the best.

    Also happened with nuts and marzipan.

      I don’t mind raisins. I typically don’t seek them out but for the most part they’re a happy surprise.

      I must state that raisins in cereal is a terrible fucking idea. They get hard and gummy.
