        Hold the fucking phone bud. You can shit on America all you want, but don’t. Think you can shit on Americans all you want.

        It was Americans that saved you all in ww2. We are mostly good and decent people.

        But, I have never in my life seen raisins anywhere near Mac & cheese. I’ve never seen olives near it either.

            Oh? The greatest credible threat to the world? Not saying that dropping two nukes on the country that invaded and raped or killed uncountable numbers of people is heroic, but without us and the lend lease, Europe was fucking done for.

            Also, none of us say arse.

            Thirdly, we fucking did save your ass in ww2. Also in ww1. I’m literally never the ugly American in public, I’ve had Turkish taxi drivers in German ask me why I want to go to the American army base because I’m so not that person.

            But give credit where it’s due.

              ur funny

              you saved nobodies ass and its EMBARRASSING youre taking ANY credit when you probably ask for help getting a milk jug out of the fridge.

              you saved nobody. america now has saved nobody. soldiers arent heroes theyre people that want to survive stop glorifying the war and the us like we won a call of duty campaign. America wants its own people to die and they want to capitalize on it.

              the military is for fuckn weirdos that like supporting oil tycoons and if youre forced to join then you have my utmost respect as that fucking sucks.

              if ur gonna talk shit at least have something to back it up how many one arm pullups can you do, how longs ur planche, front lever etc? oh you cant do any of these things because youre a couch politician, soldier, and patriot i forgot. focus on something useful in your life. america doesn’t wanna suck your dick

    I will go on record as saying I don’t give a shit if there’s pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn’t order it that way, but I’ll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.

    Raisins in Mac and cheese… I can imagine it’s probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting

          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.

              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.

    I don’t get it.

    Is raisins in Mac n cheese like, a big thing in other countries and us Americans just don’t get it? If so I guess more power to you, that is news to me. I’d try anything once but I don’t really like raisins to begin with so it’s a bit of a tough sell.

    And yes, pineapple on pizza is delicious. I’ve seen some truly abhorrent pizza toppings from elsewhere in the world, so I don’t think we have some kind of monopoly on those crimes.

      The problem with Pineapple on pizza is that everyone thinks ham goes with it. That’s ok, but pepperoni and pineapple is so much better, and nobody ever gets to try it because of “Hawaiian” pizza.

        I think what also turns people off of pineapple on pizza is some places do these huge chunks of pineapple. Smaller chunks are better as they actually cook down a little and are delicious.

        I am also part of the pineapple and pepperoni game. I would also recommend trying pineapple and Italian sausage if you like Italian sausage.

          Finally someone’s brave enough to say the truth about ham.

          The only reason I enjoy eating ham on meat lovers or Hawaiian pizza is because it’s pizza and it doesn’t disassemble well.

      I always like people gatekeeping pizzas that use toppings other than the traditional Italian ones.

      … ignoring the fact that tomato sauce is from the Americas.

          While I can go both ways for the mayo on the burger debate, not often you hear that it’s the best part.

          A&W is where I go for the mayo on burger goodness. Even the mozza sauce is just thousand island with more mayo essentially.

        People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.

        Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.

          Maybe it’s a cultural or family thing? So it’s just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you’re done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
