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.
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.
Why do people hate raisins? They’re chewy little sugar bombs. What’s not to like?

I’m from Europe and I don’t like raisins. 🤷♂️

Your “mom” is absurd.
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.
Protein candy
Nah your previous piece of candy had a powerful hallucinogen in it.
Raisins are fine until you eat a cookie expecting chocolate chips and get a raisins instead.

Yeah, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are trash.
I respectfully disagree and look forward to each one of them.
Also: this Comic makes no sense. Raisins are awesome (if done right in baking)!
If they don’t have worms in them.
The best have both

For me it’s the texture that causes issues. I love grapes, but dry them out and suddenly they make me nauseous.
I love raisins by themselves, or sometimes in food like Tagine
Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment
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.
Someone who cannot appreciate the joy of a Fly Cemetery Biscuit smh
They look and feel like I’m eating little roaches embedded in my food.
That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It’s the best part!
