So I was enjoying the hell out of this carrot cake muffin when BAM raisin out of nowhere! Why do people have to put raisins in lovely foods like carrot cake, oatmeal cookies, and butter tarts and not say they've put in raisins?

I'm not allergic. I had a ...bad experience with eating what I thought was a raisin in a cookie and it turned out to be a bug.

    some people think they always need to add things..I myself have been guilty..some people LOVE their dessicated fruits!..I love nuts, and I've never heard a brownie batter object..

    THIS is why I don't fully trust chocolate chip cookies.

    Carrot cake without raisins is like spring without sun.

    My old roommate HATED raisins. If anything we got ever had raisins in it she would just give it to me.

    I thought it was cute. :)

    But I agree that they shouldn't be in everything. There should be -raisin free- options for every food. Including cinnamon buns.

    Oh Lord, you've read my mind....and specifically with carrot cake. Nothing ruins a carrot cake like hidden raisins. And it's so hard to tell sometimes.... is it a nut or raisin.

    hahaha exactly! grapes are yummy, raisins, not so much. buut i loooooove butter tarts and hate raisins, and my mom always has butter tarts WITH raisins, so although at the time im all WTF, its probably a good thing, since i would have eaten them all! LOL

    For me, there is nothing worse than grabbing an oatmeal raisin cookie and realizing someone put chocolate chips in it.

    It's funny you bring up carrot cake! It's my FAVORITE cake, but some bake it with coconut and some without (and I'm allergic).

    So it becomes a crapshoot sometimes when I ask a baker/server/cashier and they go, "Uh, I'm not sure... I don't think so?"

    Then this probably isn't the best thread for you... don't ya think? You can take your raisins and go play elsewhere. :smile:

    I feel the same way about nuts. I don't mind raisins, but but nuts in something baked like cookies and it just ruins the experience for me. Especially the cursed walnut. They're fine otherwise, but in baked goods, not so much.

    Funny story. My hubby fav cookie is Oatmeal Raisin. And I wear reading glasses (but did not have them with me at the market)

    Can you figure the outcome?

    I came home with chocolate chip cookies. Looked like Oatmeail Raisin to me.
