Q: Raisins in cole slaw. Good or bad? Discuss.

A: Raisins in cole slaw are an abomination. They ruin the flavor of the slaw and even removing the raisins doesn't help as the flavor that doesn't belong remains. Cole slaw should be a bit tart with vinegar, or maybe slightly - not overly - creamy for the creamy style. Raisins seem to make the slaw somewhat sweet which is just plain wrong.

Raisins are fine by themselves and maybe in some cereals, but in general raisins, like nuts, do not belong in other foods. Many an otherwise good bread or cinamon roll is ruined by the inclusion of raisins, just as brownies are too often contaminutted.

Egg here, jic this thing won't log me in. Anyway, it doesn't matter at all to me, as cole slaw in general is evil. Period.
