    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?

          Funnest fact: There’s a cookbook titled Cooking With Poo, but it’s not the book you’re thinking of.

            I’ve only ever seen one copy on an Australian YouTube channel. They were doing outback survival and they brought out this book as a joke. It was a real book though and I’ve sought it to have, but I think it was likely self-published so not many copies exist. How many publishers would commit to publishing such material? Not many. It is my white whale. This book of shit.

      I agree. For example, I love cranberry sauce. I make it homemade and put it on everything during Thanksgiving. That includes Mac and cheese. And it’s really good! I wouldn’t be surprised if raisins could supply a similar sweetness.

        I wanted to say “in Austria, they put „Preiselbeerkompott“ on Cordon Bleu and (ChatGPT said it’s called like that:) game like boar and pheasant“

        But the European Preiselbeere is just the smaller cousin of the Cranberry, they taste the same.

        I figured it’ll help anyone speaking German who reads this, so I typed it out after I got my answers.

      Well a lot of people don’t like raisins, so that’s why it’s triggering an uproar?

      It’s weird that you are forgetting that not everyone likes every food.

      It’s awesome that you like raisins. Don’t need to dismiss those who don’t.

          That’s not the same, but okay.

          Imagine taking your favourite dish and adding something you hate into it. That’s the equivalent.

            Still wouldn’t upset me because it doesn’t change what I eat.

              It’s very cool that you’ve never had any opinions about food before. Congratulations.

                It’s not that I don’t have opinions because I do, obviously, but I don’t get to the point where it upsets me because it does not affect me just like it didn’t affect anyone else. How I make food won’t be forced to change so it doesn’t matter if others do things differently.

                  You’re getting upset over people hearing about someone adding an ingredient they don’t like into a globally recognized dish, and saying “ew”.

                  You’re acting like these people are protesting in the streets.

                  Have a little fun, my guy. People reacting to this saying “ew” is okay. I also personally think the idea of it is gross, and personally I won’t be trying it. Even if it turns out to be amazing, the texture is too much for me, and that’s okay.

                    I’m not upset at all, I just commented on your favorite dish comment and then commented on your other comment that had nothing to do with mine. I also never said I mind how others react I said that I would not care because it would not affect me. I literally responded about me and spoke only for me you seen to think I was speaking for others.
