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?
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.
And I don't like curry, but I'm not a acting like an upset 8yo every day that India exists.
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.
