costermonger: Get your farking hands off my oatmeal raisin cookies!

THIS.

I would like to toss two more entrants for Fark's consideration into this "places raisins don't belong" debate.

1) Salads. 2) Stuffing.

Seriously, people need to stop doing that.

raisins used in dry cooking such as cookies retain their texture, in breads they become softer.

In wet cooking such as stews, soups, pot roasts, pilafs, etc. they absorb a lot of water and become soft brown spheres that are almost wrinkle free, and are sure to scare many Americans.

Maybe for Thanksgiving I should make some mashed potatoes with currants well enough before hand that they get fully hydrated and see which guests freak out. (Currants are not really currants but instead are rasins made from tiny grapes)

Fark you, raisins are delicious, even in cookies.

So, a lot of people on fark are backwards, un-sophisticated, never-developed-an-adult-taste-bud-in-their-lives, basement dwellers from Bumfark, USA. And want to be funny about it. We get it.

FunkOut: BobSGA: Meatballs. Apparently a semi-common thing among some Italians, of which my wife is one. Mmm, semi-rehydrated grapes...Jesus Christ, do they suck.

Da fuq? Meatballs?

I can confirm that this happens and that it is very, very unfortunate.

I want the 30 seconds it took to read this shiat back.

Spiralmonkey: Porous Horace: Raisins in (the right) curry is great.
Also on (the right) curry-style pizza.

You sound like the kind of sick puppy who thinks its OK to put pineapple on pizza too. There is no place for fruit on pizza, not even in Hawaii. Maybe possibly in hell...

WHAT? What is your Damage? Hawaiian Delight (Canadian bacon and pineapple) pizza is TEH BOMB.

Almost as divine as shrimp and onion.

Last night we celebrated something and went to Mongolian BBQ, Had pork with pineapple in one of the bowls (I had 6 bowls). I thought the lady running the place was gonna go John Pinette on me Link

OK. That was like the stupidest thing that has ever been on Fark.

Ego edo infantia cattus: Wow, I just had a raisin cookie that i thought was chocolate chip about ten seconds before this went green.

/it was gross.

This. I've been burned by this too many times. Now I circle around a plate of "chocolate chip" cookies for a good 30 secs before I take a bite. I sniff, examine, I might even poke. I look like a wolf that just found a slice of prime rib laying in the middle of the forest.

I won't be hurt again!

I read where the Raisin Council has their panties in a wad because the Craisin Council is starting to move in heavy on their turf.

Craisin > raisin

Oatmeal raisin cookies are terrible! Oatmeal chocolate chip are AMAZING!

mouth

The sun?

Unless they are sugar coated and in a cereal, razins should not exist!!!

If I find them in my cookies, cake, oatmeal, bread, or ice cream, I will KILL you.

(don't get me started about sprinkles)

Meatballs. Apparently a semi-common thing among some Italians, of which my wife is one. Mmm, semi-rehydrated grapes...Jesus Christ, do they suck.

unyon: Raisins in oatmeal cookies are delicious.

Seriously!!!!! How in the flying Fark are you going to have an oatmeal cookie without raisins in the thing?!? Blehhhh. That's like a chocolate chip cookie full of shiat!

NewportBarGuy: If you do not enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies, you are worse than Hitler.

Nice. We Godwinned a thread about raisins.

They belong in bread and cereal that's it. Oatmeal raisin cookies are disgusting.
