I also have no idea why so many people don't like raisins. They're great! Cheesecake with raisins is delicious.

I love Cheesecake (if it's done properly), but I've never had it with raisins. Strawberries and blueberries on top, yes, but raisins sound... different anyway.

Are they sprinkled on, or are they actually in the cake?

I also love cheesecake, but I never had any type of fruit on it.

Whozjama · Post by **Whozjama** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 6:14 pm

I've always heard people raving about cheescake, fruity or not, so it follows that I'd be excited to try some.
But, it didn't taste mindblowingly amazing, it was okay.

They are in the cake. It's a shame that it's hard to get, so many people don't want raisins that it's safer to produce them without...

And I love vanilla ice cream with rum soaked raisins.

I have never been a fan of cheesecake. I don't understand all the hype.
But Oatmeal Raisin cookies are my absolute favorite of all time

I like the cheesecake, but I've got very few occasions to eat it. I love the raisins taste, they're the top in panettone (but instead, I hate the candied citrus peels).

I also love them in this!

I don't really favor raisins. They're too sour for me

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 12:51 am

I didn't like them when I was younger, I liked them when I was a pre-teen, now I just don't care for them. I'll eat them, but not on their own.

When my grandfather was making wine, we had a load of grapes. Most of them ended up being given away and the others went on his grave.

I used to love sultanas (what we call raisins) until about two years ago when I started to eat some only to discover they'd gone off. Fortunately I realised before I swallowed. Now, though, I can't even think of them without feeling sick, although I can still eat them in things, like chocolate.
I've never liked grapes though, oddly enough.

I like raisins. Raisins are alright. I'll happily eat a few if anybody offers. =^w^=

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 6:42 pm

I love grapes. They're some of my favorite fruits. Ironically, though, I don't like grape juice, am not a fan of wine, and grape-flavored things tend to be worse than other fruit-flavored things.

Raisins are pretty good. I'll never dislike raisins but I'll also never go out of my way to eat them.

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 6:53 pm

I have never had cheesecake, I should try some sometime. Sounds like it would be great with raisins in it.

I liked raisins last time I had them, and I think I'd still like them. Grapes are a good fruit to eat when I need to eat fruit, I like them.

Another thing I like is when my mom makes things with pretzels as a substitute for nuts, as there is someone in my family with a nut allergy. I love the brownies with pretzels in them.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 8:42 pm

Raisins in cheesecake? Ewwww.

But I like this idea of pretzels in place of peanuts! I love peanuts but they don't go well with sweet food like candy or whatever. Whereas I can tolerate pretzels much more. Such as the salted caramel pretzel milkshake from Steak N Shake. Mmmmm...

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 9:04 pm

I'm not a huge fan of pretzels personally. I mean, I'll eat them, but I prefer just about any other bagged snack food there is over them.

They're just too bland. (The big soft ones are a different story though)

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 10:05 pm

Goldfish and Cheez-Its. The best salty snacks.

Salted caramel? I actually hate salt in my caramel. I much prefer caramel to be sweet. I've no idea how it would be with pretzels in it.

I do like pretzels though, both the small crunchy kind and the large salty bread kind that's very popular in Germany.

I don't mind grape-flavoured candy but I don't like grape juice, although I will drink the sparkling "fake wine". I do like real wine though. Tasmania has several delicious vineyards which I can highly recommend.

That may be a good snack if you're a cat.

But goldfish are freshwater fish - they can't be that salty.

I'm sadistic. I like to pet and talk sweet to my Goldfish before I bite their heads off.

Well, this thread just took a dark turn.

Remind me never to let you petsit my fish if I ever get any.

I love flavor blasted Goldfish. They had to go and discontinue my favorite Cheez-Its though. I loved the Parmesan & Garlic ones, and I wish I could have them again.

Yeah, and they also aren't that salty.
I also like the small pretzels and the salt sticks. I tend to nibble off the salt first.

They're pretty popular in the south only, in Bavaria. The rest barely eats them. Well, given the chance I don't say no, but I'm not searching for them.

I haven't been to Germany but I have had one of those at a restaurant called "The Bavarian Chef"

Who here agrees that this would be a perfect valentine for a furry (if it was on a card)?

Post by **Render** » Tue Feb 10, 2015 8:05 pm

Who said it needs to be cards?

You can put the (Can't-Believe-It's-Not-)Chocolates into the bag and all is fine.

Ah, Valentines Day. The day of love most remembered for couples showing affection for each other and remembering just how great it is to be together.

Or if you're someone like me who's been single his entire like, the day most remembered as the "day before all of the pink candy goes on sale for some reason."

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Tue Feb 10, 2015 10:29 pm

Valentine's Day is the day when I get to take candy from my brother and sister, as well as see a bunch of hearts, pink, and red.

I would like to get that bag with it full of candy though.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:52 pm

For Valentine's Day, I'm getting a whole bag of Lindor Truffle's Strawberry and Cream chocolates. My mother got me hooked on them.

Just seeing the words "strawberry and cream" placed a vague semblance of the taste of Cream Savers on my mouth. Best hard candy.

I know I still have 2 year old Halloween and Easter candy I never ate, I should see if it is still good and it hasn't been thrown away.

And I almost forgot my favorite part of Valentine's Day, the little heart shaped candies, those are some of my favorite.

On a related note, the best way to eat a Kit Kat is to bite off all the chocolate, pull apart the cookies, and lick off the stuff holding the cookies together. The stuff holding the cookies together is the best part of the entire Kit Kat.
