To think dried fruit is shit and ruins everything.

[Sexnotgender]

Bought a delicious looking ginger and pear cupcake earlier.

Not a mention of the fact there were fucking raisins in it 😡 the little dried buggers just ruin delicious food.

Hot cross buns? Ruined.
Christmas pudding? Ruined.
Christmas cake? Ruined.

100% correct OP

Wrong! What would life be like without stupendous sultanas and ravishing raisins?

Sultanas and raisins are ok by themselves, but not in real food.

So much better! Never again would I buy a delicious looking cake only to find dried up little bits of bloody fruit scattered throughout.

100% spot on.
WHY ??
Just why would you want to put dead flies in food.
Even worse when they sneak them in to otherwise yummy food you wouldn't expect to find them in.
I mean, you can avoid a hot cross bun.

I remember the heartbreak of being offered a 'chocolate chip' cookie that turned out to be fucking raisin. Sad day.

Nope I love a sweet curry filled with dried fruit mmmmmmm

💯 agree, they should be banned

You're all raisin hating bastards

Absolutely right!

You are 100% correct OP!

YABU - I love dried fruit and as far as I am concerned it enhances everything.

Certainly anyone who puts sultanas in a curry or raisins in a salad needs their fingers amputated.

But I think you have to concede Christmas Pudding and Fruit Cake, recognise that dried fruit has claimed that territory and revert to a pavlova and yule log.

Nope. Love them. Fruit cake is a joy. Ginger and pear sounds like a great combination and raisins would be excellent in that.

How does dried fruit ruin the hot cross bun? They're the crucial ingredient. Without it it would just be sweet bread. Ditto for Christmas cake and pudding, they wouldn't exist without dried fruit.

Anyway YABVVVVVU because dried fruit is the nectar of gods: mince pies, Eccles cakes, hot cross buns, sultana bran, muesli, sultana and currant cake, the list is endless. I'd rather give up chocolate than dried fruit.

Sultanas are ok on a scone.

But when you find them in a curry unexpectedly... urgh.

See also cheese with random fruit in. Gross.

Can I also add that this current trend for putting mango or pomegranate in a salad can fuck off into the bin.

Nooooo, bring me sly cake, fat rascals, Chorley cakes, and Welsh cakes all day long!

I love dried fruit, especially in a hot Cross bun.

I don't mind them in something that has a high enough liquid content that they plump back up a bit. But anything dry is really disgusting with dried fruit.

Little black currants, lovely.
Squishy sultanas, work of the devil.
Dried apricots, should be illegal.

I love dried fruit and find it extremely disappointing that it is now no longer considered the healthfood I grew up with due to the high natural sugar content.

Correct apart from mince pies. Mince pies are the only acceptable vehicle for dried fruit.

YABU because Christmas cake and pudding (not to mention mince pies) basically ARE dried fruit with a little binding agent

I hear you with the cupcake. Raisins in there is just rude and inappropriate.
But Christmas cake/pudding and hot cross buns! YABU.

Absolutely foul, shriveled things. Grapes? Yes. Raisins? No.
