- It's so...cloying and happy.
  It's insidious.
  
  Do you think it can save us from culinary boredom?
- Don't knock it, till you try it.
  But I agree....
  
  If it's delicious I could have my mind changed, I will admit
  I am one of those who enjoys oatmeal raisin cookies, so it is entirely plausible; but in Mac and Cheese it seems... dubious
  
  I suppose the goal would be a salty sweet combo, but a raisins texture seems really off-putting for Mac and cheese.

Some of you really don't like raisins, huh?
- I don't want rubbery, sweet shit in my Mac and cheese.
  On their own this m they're fine.
  Do you like pickles in your ice cream?
  
  I like pickles on everything, but pickles are delicious. Raisins are an abomination.
  
  There's pickles flavored ice cream, and it's not bad. I tasted it at one of those 1000 flavors ice cream shops. People are really missing out if they think ice cream should only be diabetes flavored. Salted caramel, peanuts, sour and sweet flavors. They all work really well in ice cream form.
- If they're not covered in chocolate someone wasted a perfectly good grape.
  
  Seriously. Craisins = great. Raisins = bullshit bad wasted grape. Redeemable if they're Raisinets or yogurt covered raisins. (I actually don't hate raisins, but all of the other options are better by a mile.)
- FUCK raisins. The nasty little fucks can go decay in a corner alone for all I care.
- I love chocolate syrup, but it doesn't belong on cheese or pasta.
  
  what about chocolate pasta?
- If you can tell me there are quality raisins than the ones in those little boxes I had as a kid, I'll try them and maybe change my mind.
- Raisins are good and anyome who thinks otherwise is a stupif fucking pile of dogshit, just my opinion though.
- I don't even like grapes

There are raisins in some currys, and raisins in coronation chicken. I dont see how this would be much different.
- Yeah it would be the same, I.e. DISGUSTANG
- Tajine dishes also use them quite often.
  
  Uzbek plov!
- I don't like raisins
  
  Then this dish is not for you.

You all thought I was crazy for wanting pineapple on pizza! How do you like me now!
- I liked you just fine before?
- I mean... The OG ambrosia "salad" has mayo and candied fruit in it.

Please don't tell my wife. I'd rather set my kitchen on fire than make this for her.
- I'll come over and make her this.
  Yes I did fall down a horrible pasta rabbit hole.
  
  That is visibly not cheese.
  Or macaroni.
  
  How much do I need to pay you for that to not happen?

We live on a spinning spaceship made out of rock with 8 billion people on it and THIS is what people talk about?
- No, they don't. Media just picks a mildly controversial topic and jazzes it up to get clicks.

Desperately seeking content will the death of the internet, change my mind

Just put 1 raisin in there to mess up someone’s day.
- Whoever gets it has to make the next Mac and cheese.

A curse to live to such an age, where foul raisins defile such an innocent dish.
- What about strawberries.

You're kicked out of the potluck for life if you bring this over.
- So, putting mayor's pants in potluck does not warrant a lifetime ban, but one little rasin does?

As an european mac and cheese is already an abomination that you dont even know if people actually eat it in america or the media is playing a trick on the whole of europe.
- What exactly is the abomination here? Pasta with cheese is also eaten a lot in Europe. Just look at Spaghetti cacio e pepe or Käsespätzle?
  
  Well the proportions of the ingredients are different and european cheese is usually made out of milk wnd not plastic. I made the huge mistake of going to an italian restaurant(had a good rating) and spent a good chunk of money on one of the worst meals i ever ate in my life. But look if you like it i have nothing against you just dont try to call it italian.
- Roux sauce ham and cheese pasta had been around for a long time, brother.
- Skinny bitches just jealous of our thiccness
  
  Who the fuck downvotes random ass comments? I have to get to the bottom of this.
- Cheesy pasta? I guess everyone's got their own cheese preferences
- I'm Canadian, we eat it (well I personally eat a vegan version). We call it Kraft Dinner.
  
  That's the cheapest and worst version of the dish. Splurge a little. Get Velveeta shells and cheese.
  Or make a cheese sauce, cook some decent macaroni, and stick it in the oven with some bread crumbs on top. Much better that way
- I moved from europe to canada, and they actually eat that thing. I tried in europe before, and the authentic here it's just as bad

I notice how it doesn't say whether it's good or bad things. I'm going to guess it's mostly bad. I don't need or want sweet Mac and cheese in my life.

Haha you just just discovered kugel?

I enjoy figs/grapes/dates and cheese so maaaybe I'd like this?

This is why we can't have nice things. It's a no from me dog

This is nothing compared with cheesy escargot sushi
- hey i mean snails can technically be considered a type of fish (its true look it up), so i guess it works
  
  Seafood does not mean fish.

Mini marshmallows or bust!
- At least the textures are similar 🤷‍♂️

Could be worse
She could add corn to it
- Better than raisins.
- Now I really want to try that
- You're just describing Midwest hot dish...
- I tried that once just because I had both, and they were both yellow. I can't believe how nasty it was. It was one of very few of my creations that I had thrown out. I think the smushy and popping textures together wrecked my brain.

I'll venmo $10 to the first person willing to try it
- I will do it live on camera lol
  
  Bet
- What if I made this version? https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisins-and-fontina
  
  Offer still stands

Im doin this. Chop some golden raisins into tiny pieces, mix them into some good mac and cheese, possibly with other added things in it to make them blend in better, and serve it to my family, see if they even notice.
Idk why I want to do this tbh, but I am filled with dreadful curiosity...
- Well you must come back and tell me about it later, and then next you have to make this: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mac-and-cheese-radicchio-raisins-and-fontina
  
  Honestly the raisins and fontina make sense but radicchio is where I draw the line.

What in the caucasity.

Gross. Why not just throw some pickled children in there while you're at it.

She's a witch! Burn her!

Link for the curious.

it was perfectly fine without raisins

  Pipe deez nutz

And I have the same reaction I have to most of these types of things - I wonder what it tastes like, and wish I could try it.
I've never understood why these things trigger such uproar. It's not like it's poison or some sort of bodily secretion or something - it's just a somewhat unusual but entirely edible ingredient. And it could be good. So what's the problem?
- elaborate performative outrage is just fun for its own sake sometimes idk

I'm more concerned with the rust in the pan in which she just made food for her family...
- That's not rust... It's carbon. Burnt cheese. Never made a baked dish before?
  
  Yeah, that's just carbonised whatever
  Any rusted pan, once cooked in, will have the rust disguised until it's bonedry again.
  
  No baked dish I've ever made had burnt bits on the bottom of the pan like this. You know I'm talking about the bottom, under the mac, and not the sides of the pan, right?
- You can get digestible iron from cooking with a rusted surface in your process
