I said it before and I'll say it again: Raisins in meatballs are no good.

Cookies with raisins = Teh Fail.

Muffins with raisins = Teh Fail.

Therfore, chocalate kisses > raisins.

Chocolate kisses will always be better than raisins!

Man, I can't believe I forgot about dried bananas and dried pineapple. Also, apple chips = teh ultrawin. And Mr. Wiggles:
Cookies with raisins = Teh win.
Cookies with peanut butter and cookies with any chocolate = Teh tie for second place.

Bobman, other than the hatred of tomatoes and the order of dried fruits, your post is correct. I, personally, like tomatoes (better in a sandwich or salad, or alone, than dry), and I think the order is:
Dried apples > dried apricots > dried grapes > dried bananas > dried tomatoes > dried pineapple. I think the difference between each is minimal at best; I like them all almost equally. And I had a bowl of Raisin Bran earlier >:D

And TC, you're completely correct. Although I have to wonder, why exactly did you try them?

My grandmother makes em' all  the time. I don't even like meatballs in general. Sausage is where it's at. ;)

Why does your sausage have two turntables and a microphone?

Anyway, back to dried fruit: I. NEED. DRIED APRICOTS.

Meat fails.
That was a joke.

Any guy that says meat fails deserves to have his man license taken away.

...Wait. Who puts raisins in meatballs?

Note: I find both foods disgusting.

This reasoning makes no sense. It needs "Cookies with chocolate kisses = Teh Win" and "Muffins with chocolate kisses = Teh Win" in order to work.

Back on topic, raisins are nasty. Whenever there's Raisin Bran, I always pick out the raisins. One of the few cases, if not only, where I prefer the "cereal" part over the little goodies in a cereal. Trail mix, Raisin Bran, and oatmeal cookies are all ruined because of raisins. I'd totally like those foods if the raisins were removed or replaced with chocolate or a different dried fruit, like cranberries. Dried cranberries are awesome. Thankfully, though, the raisins don't bother me enough that I won't eat the above items; I tend to pick the raisins out, but, even so, it gets annoying.

Back off topic, tomatoes are awesome no matter how they're prepared. All non-sweet foods are better when tomatoes are involved somehow. Plain, salsa, marinara, BBQ sauce, soup, etc. Although I'm not big on ketchup.
And cheese; All non-sweet foods are better with cheese, too. Seriously, cheese and tomatoes are the two most important items to me in anything non-sweet I eat. If one or both aren't involved in a meal, I usually add them.

Bananas, on the other hand, are disgusting no matter how they're prepared. Even if there is a tiny hint of banana--even if artificial flavoring--in something, I will not eat it.

I haven't had dried apples, but apple chips are awesome. I haven't had them in forever. I want some now. :(
Ground beef > ground sausage.

Bananas rule, raisins rule. Tomatoes are half of the foods I don't like.

Now I'm hungry.

Tomatoes are one of my most favorite foods. Bananas I'm not a fan of, unless I get to bite into them. As for Raisins, the only time I actually like then is if I get a big can of raisins and eat them as is, usually handfuls at a time.

Tomatoes and peanut butter are two of the best things ever.
