Hear me out. Christmas rice with raisins. They absorb moisture from the dish and become these sweet little treats in the midst of a very buttery and savory rice. I hate raisins but I fucking love that rice.
Maybe it's a cultural or family thing? So it's just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you're done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.
Why does everyone seam to hate raisins (and olives)
They are fucking delicious
I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I'm tired of pretending I don't.
Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorites! I don't bake them often because I eat way too many cookies when I do.
People get angry with me for saying that oatmeal raisin is better than chocolate chip.
Have you ever tried aging the dough in the fridge for a few days? It makes the oatmeal softer while the outside gets crisp.
Nah, don't mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.
*pleasant
I think y'all just ate some shitty raisins once and now hate them forever
What even is a good raisin? A grape?
Wait does it bother you to find raisins in food?
Literally two ingredients common in saltenas.
Well for me it's because grapes are my favorite fruit so it's like everything I love about a grape is sucked out of it.
I love both
Because food preferences are now memes.
Satanists.
Olives are great. Raisins taste how old people smell.
Oh, I like olives.
That does actually sound rather good
Pineapple upside down cheesecake... ?
Somebody invent that!
Oh my god... Let me have some
But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.
I'm tempted... sounds delicious and I wonder why I've never seen pineapple and cheesecake combined. I wonder if the acidity is hard on the cheesecake.

What the hell is Christmas rice?

Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).
Needs dried cherries too.
Who hurt you?
