As a Canadian, I am very happy to report that I have NEVER seen raisins in potato salad.

I’m English, we don’t do that. Ms Phis please keep your mums friend over there. We had a vote & don’t want him back.

Sorry to tell you those weren't raisins--the flies at the picnic had to land somewhere...

White people come from very different types of cultures depending on where they grew up and what country their ancestors were from. Someone who's raised Italian or Spaniard isn't going to be like someone raised Irish or Ukrainian. Also north easterners are different then the South or the mid West, etc. My family never put raisins in potato salad, I've never had that. It's eggs, mayo, onion, salt, pepper and sometimes pickle juice. The only food that gets raisins that isn't dessert is chicken salad with apples and raisins or curry chicken.

This strikes me as something a grandma would do

In all my years as a white person, living in a very white state, I have *never* heard of raisins in potato salad.

You mean people actually put raisins in potato salad? That's NASTY.

Oh as a Swede I would like to know that too.. that sounds so bad

I love raisins and will use it as in ingredient at every opportunity :D then again I only cook for myself so the world is safe

I have never in my life seen raisins in a potato salad and I'm a white American..

Puerto Rican here; no raisins in our potato salad either.

This is seriously one of the great racially divisive questions of all time.

Dear God, who came up with an abomination like that? My Southern relatives are rolling in their graves and I just threw up a little in my mouth! That is some nasty s**t there and I will have a hard time getting that image out of my head.

You just re-traumatized me.

White people and black people make potato salad extremely similarly. Whoever says they don’t is full of s**t!

OMG... where can I try the fried potato salad that was mentioned?! I'd totally try that...no raisins though 😣

As a white American (and ‘professional’ chef) I have -never- ever- seen OR heard of raisins in potato salad. I am 99.98% sure you made this up to get attention :/

Those may not have been actual raisins.

Who the f**k does that?

As an Australian, I think Americans socially f****d right up, and Canadians are almost normal but unfortunately slightly infected by American culture. Even here in Australia we're a little bit infected, but it's only a minor rash. If they could move Canada several thousands of kilometers away from the U.S , the toxic influence may wear off eventually. LOL

Wait, what? Raisins in POTATO SALAD?? I have never, ever, seen that abomination. Anyone who does that needs to be banned from kitchens world-wide.

Oh lawd your comment is only the SECOND instance I've ever even heard of raisins in potato salad and I've wanted to slap the guilty hillbilly cook who panicked 5 minutes before the family gathering and who was out of onions and celery!

I think you may have a rodent problem! I’ve never seen “raisins” in potato salad either.

Not only raisins in potato salad but apples in tuna salad and grapes in chicken salad??? These things ought not to be!

who the blue f--k puts raisins in potato salad???

Those aren’t raisins, I think a rodent walked through that bowl.

I don't do that. Haha! But then again, I don't do potato salad. No mayo for me. Yuck!

I'm a white Canadian and...raisins...where now...?

Never seen that either...yuck!

What heathen thought raisins was a good idea?!

NEVER in the potato salad but my mom sometimes puts it in the tuna salad with apples and walnuts...

Lolwat. I have never seen this. I'm British.

As a human, I think that the person who even thought of that is NASTY.

Huh? I've never seen that? Maybe it's just your weird family.

Never seen nor heard about it here in Scandinavia, so probably not us

As a life long American, I have never heard of raisins in potato salad. Or anything EXCEPT oatmeal raisin cookies.

Australian via Scotland here. Raisins?? WTF are you shower doing to the poor innocent potatoes? What did they do to you??

Never heard of raisins in potato salad but I love raisins in chicken salad with little bits of apple and a little cardamom. SO SO GOOD!

White European here. WHAT THE HELL WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A PERFECTLY FINE POTATO SALAD.

I'm a white American and I like raisins in certain kinds of potato salad. They're better in that multi-colored cabbage coleslaw, though.

I always said its the dutch people... they put raisins and apple in every bloody salad!

That's right! Get on 'em! They done messed y'all up for the next twenty years...

Where the hell did you find raisins in the potato salad? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit!!!!! On another note, we should spend more time getting to know each other and put the stereotypes where they belong, in the garbage with the raisins! Raisins in potato salad, yuck eeww yuck!

Probably a white person.

That brings up a whole new thread, Ask an American. I'm a military BRAT, raised in Germany. It was easy to identify an American when we left the base.

I am white (must be the first time I've ever written it) but for me too Americans are Americans whether they're black or white. They should do a thread "Ask an American" like Omar pointed out, I think people outside of the US have a lot of misconceptions and questions we'd like to get answers to. I know I do lol

Ryo, you don’t get what American culture is. And that is very American of you.

The mere thought that I could ever act "American" is a load of bollocks. I don't think the "British accent" is sexy (there's more than one, and they all sound stupid, even mine), I don't salute an over-decorated rag, I stopped thinking The Simpsons was funny years ago (seriously, America, let it die), and I've never gotten an erection in anticipation of Superbowl Sunday. Or during Superbowl Sunday. Or though "Holy s**t, I need to buy a Nissan!" because of a commercial during Superbowl Sunday. Or called Tom Brady a cheat during Superbowl Sunday. Or was left feeling disappointed after the most recent Superbowl Sunday. Also, baseball sucks, too. Hi, America!
