    Onions makes sense though as cheese, onions and pasta are a normal combination but raisins?

      Apples and cheddar? Pear and brie? Peaches and balsamic?

      Sweet + tangy + savory is an incredibly popular combination, so Mac and cheese + raisins isn’t all that unusual.

      Also it’s subjective. You don’t have to like it, but it shouldn’t be surprising that other people do.

        Sweet and tangy with the presence of acids and moisture from the fruit are a good combo but guess what raisins don’t have?

          You ever have a charcuterie board? Dried fruit and cheese are staples there, and neither are particularly moist.

          I’ll say it again, it’s ok to not like a particular thing, but you shouldn’t be surprised when someone else does. Everyone’s tastes are different.

            Fair, didn’t think of charcuterie.
