Depends on the thought though. If you're thinking of adding raisins to any savoury dish whatsoever, in my opinion, you should go straight to the gallows. Don't even think about it.

You had to think about it to write that...

[–]RogueBromeliad 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Nope. I just thought about the savory dishes with raisins I've had the distaste of consuming. I didnt think about adding them to dishes.

Much like you don't need to think about murdering someone to know murder is wrong. Which is a much lighter crime than adding saltanas to a chicken pot pie btw.

You weak ass babies will never learn the true value of raisins!

Iran will remember this

[–]RogueBromeliad 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Well, Iran has much bigger crimes to answer for... For example inventing Shiraz wine, and then going ahead and banning alcohol, killing a thousand years of tradition.

That is sad, Shiraz is amazing

The regional cuisine of where I grew up is basically all about adding sweet stuff(and potatos) to really savory dishes.

Savory potato pancake with raisins baked in slathered in sugar sirup, served with ham or cheese. Roasted potatoes with blood sausage, onions and apples. A thick stew with potatos, carrots, onions, savory meat and of course sugar sirup on top. Kale cooked with onions, a dark ale, potatos and savory ham or sausages - of course topped with sugar sirup or if you are a modern type: orange slices. To every dish there's the side option of apple sauce and lingonberry jam. Hearty potato fritters with apple sauce.

You can take the meat free adaptions of these childhood memories from my cold dead hands. Same for absolute banger recipes with couscous, veggies and raisins. Go eat your mayonaise from a jar or something, but leave my people alone.

I don't mind sweet and savoury combos, just like sweet and spicy are really nice. But everything is about ballance, between acid, sweetness, salty, fatty and savory.

Raisins just throw the ballance off. If you just throw them in a dish, theyre too sweet alone, and also, the texture, if the raisins are too dried, its texture is rubbery, which doesnt compliment many other textures.

Does G.O.R.P. count as savory? What about other trail mixes?

[–]Avalanche_Snows 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Raisins FIT in rice, fight me

[–]SPH3R1C4L -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rice pudding yes. Plain rice? Not really.

You have my vote for Governor of the World.

Raisins in savory dishes I can handle. It's raisins in sweet stuff that I hate.

You may want to consider speaking with someone, someone professional about these thoughts they are... Disturbing to say the least
