Why are World Cup tourists obsessed with this?

>>22072458
You mean mayonnaise?
>>
>>22072459
>Mayonnaise is a simple emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and an acid (lemon juice or vinegar), yielding a thick, neutral spread. Ranch is a dressing that uses a mayonnaise (or sour cream/yogurt) base thinned out with buttermilk, heavily seasoned with herbs and spices like garlic, onion, dill, and parsley.
No, he means Ranch

Ah yes, the poor mans goyslop mayonnaise known as ranch

Ranch has always felt like a shittier, poorfag version of blue cheese dressing to me. Yes even homemade ranch which tastes much better than store bought.
>>
>>22072458
Because it doesn't exist in lesser countries.
>>
>>22072463
I only like blue cheese with hot sauced food
>>
>>22072458
The US has a lot of flavor bomb seasonings which results in flavor blasted palates. People from other countries are used to lighter seasoning and more mild flavors, so these sauces and seasonings are novel and fun.

As an Merrican who has traveled the world a fair amount (and currently lives in another country) I cannot stress enough how much better food in the USA is than elsewhere. Even completely lame things like a bottle of Ranch dressing is a hundred times better than the imitation you find in other countries.

Don't get me started on pizza, buffalo wings, honey-mustard, subs/sandwiches/grindahs, the entire concept of barbecue, beef stew and chowders, pasta bakes, casseroles of many ilk, cajun and creole food, lasagna, pies, sausages and the fact that breakfast sausage is actually an amazing and unique thing, and even westernized Asian foods are all better, and some of the most chuffed traditions like Euro beers are easily rivaled by many, many, many American beers (not Bud and shit like that, I mean real beers).

Just fucking deal with it, everyone else. A Dennys mushroom omelet will give you an unintentional boner when the equivalent quiche at a $$$$ London posh tastes like fucking water.

it's good
>>
>>22072458
they're not.
they're obsessed with restaurant ranch, not hidden valley.
>>22072463
funny, they're all the same to me, disgusting.
>>
>>22072461
you really think like dgoshit.
mayo and ranch are both disgusting, but ranch is buttermilk.
mayo versions are still the glowed-up versions of mayo.
this means that ranch is the better mayo.
hope this helps you learn how math works!
>>
>>22072460
did you really ask ai what the difference between mayo and ranch was?
>>
>>22072483
weak bait
>>
People just like flavors they aren't used to. I grew up eating Ranch, I don't have strong feelings one way or another about it...it just exists
>>
real ranch made from scratch is very very good. bottled ranch is inedible dogshit
>>
>>22072534
Yeah, if anything at least use the ranch packs with fresh buttermilk and good mayo. As you said, if you go all the way and use fresh herbs, it's another level.
>>
>>22072521
not bait
>>
>>22072458
Imagine the sort of person that would go to the world cup in the first place.
That's right, goycattle.

american food is nothing special you're just looking at it though rose tinted glasses.

Maybe a bullet would be more to your liking, try eating one of those.

exactly how i see it. it's bleu cheese dressing with an excessive amount of water added to it.

They are not.

It was one Swedish internet influencer who mentioned it and you could make a 'free' account to listen to her 5 minute rant about it.

Odd really, as it's available in Sweden and most Euro countries.

Americans have just taken the bait and think it's real.

Ranch got popular because it tastes good. The people who can afford to go to America for weeks are probably trying it at places that make it in house or at least have a good version of it. Anyone stocking up hidden valley and smuggling it home will probably think it spoiled on the trip back
>>
>>22072722
Damn near every place is going to use HV or Kens.
>>
>>22072728
>euros are going apeshit for the D tier ranch
its endearing, like watching a little kid with his first .22 plinking cans and wondering how funny/mean it would be to let him try the 12 gauge
>>
>>22072739
you have quite the imagination anon
>>
>>22072458
They aren't.

The get excited over ice cubes. Let them enjoy the moment.

there's like 500 vids of them loving ranch, anon.
you just need to accept that america perfects things.

keep telling yourself that but you're not fooling anyone else.

>1 cup mayo

>1 cup buttermilk
>2 tsp of dill
>1 tsp each of parsley, chives, garlic powder

Have a little taste of America, friends, hopefully you can come next time we host

So gullible

The people behind this astroturfing really don't think highly of the average american's intelligence

>and get this, these backwards people from these hillbilly countries like Norway, all they eat is rotten fish! And then they come here, to THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH, and they're like wooah! A dressing made from soybean oil and they're like wooooah america is like the future except they say it in a stupid accent like 'ya ya zee seed oils iz good ya'
>>
>>22072458
They've just never had it before. It turns out it's really good. Who knew?
>>
>>22072458
I think Trump should make Ranch the official Dressing of the united states

why not?
it's a rare moment of unity and goodwill
>>
Don't use ranch dressing much but I love a good ranch dip.
>>
>>22072466
how is that possible?
>>
>>22073803
There are still a lot of foods that really don't get out of their regional markets even if it seems like there should be universal appeal.
It's less so than now, especially if you live in a large city with a lot of immigrants, expats and tourists but even in places like that, it's relegated to a tiny American section and only available in larger grocery stores, like Marmite or Mars Bars are in a "British" section or those Korean Banana Moon Pies are in an "Asian" section or at a Korean Grocery Store.

I simply make ranch dressing with blue cheese when I have hot wings
>>
Looks like an inferior Sylter dressing.
>>
>>22073726
>and get this, these backwards people from these hillbilly countries like Norway, all they eat is rotten fish!
I dont think we view you the same way you view us, that sounds way more mean spirited than the attitudes the US has on most foreign food cultures. Just try the ranch
>>
ranch has been gaining steam here in the uk, i see it in fried chicken shops fairly often these days
>>
>>22072739
Anon, yuropoors couldn't handle our 12 gauge flavors. If ranch dressing is having this effect on them, can you imagine what the taste of something like a proper southern BBQ or a Midwest burger would do to them? Their heads would explode like Cobain's.

How do I get restaurant ranch? The kind of ranch you get in a little cup when you order tenders, its thinner and tangier than any bottled ranch I've had. And I know the dive bars I get it at aren't making it from scratch so don't tell me to make my own you little bitch
>>
>>22074485
Order a 5 gallon jar from Sysco
>>
>>22072542
Oh yeah that's why there are multiple global euro fast food chains. Oh wait
>>
>>22074172
I bet if one of those chicken shops started offering ranch as a dipper for their chicken and other fried foods and marketed to the main chicken shop demographic they would see a massive increase in sales and profits. It would be a viral tiktok trend like those stupid jacket potatoes.
>>

You can make ranch entirely without mayonnaise, in fact I prefer it that way.
