    This is more than a job — it’s a cultural exchange powered by an incredibly versatile flavor

    Good luck with that, don’t die.

    Seeing the title photo of the article, I hope they will be put behind bars for capital culinary crimes.

    Ngl, I would love a trip to Europe. I’m not the biggest fan of ranch but I’d put ranch on every damn thing they want. Europeans would be side eyeing me like mad. Wouldn’t care. Got free trip.

      But do you need extra dressing when the whole kitchen staff have already hocked up their chunkiest loogies to hold up their end of the cultural exchange?

    In Europe they don’t know what ranch is so Cool Ranch Doritos are called Cool American Doritos…

    Which country will one of these people end up getting murdered? My money’s on France. Someone is going to douse their steak au poivre in bacon flavored ranch, and the reaction won’t be pretty.

    I’ve been to a few places in Europe where I know that if I brought in ranch and put it on the food, I’d be killed.

    No no, this makes sense. The world’s opinion of us is already as low as it can possibly get, this can only help. Not likely but how much worse could it get?

    Ok but I have to break the news to you: I know many European people who have gone ape shit when they tried ranch for the first time.

      I can never quite tell whether that means that they loathed it, or that they went mad for it.

          It really is a terrible business. I had a friend who went the United States once, tried it, and then had a psychotic break where he started thinking he was a male sheep.

          He ultimately had to be sent to a farm upstate for treatment. Some place called the Ram Ranch.

      I used to like it, but nowadays I much prefer vinaigrettes. Ginger based Asian ones are good too. White sauces generally feel kinda heavy to me.

      We make ranch at home to occasionally dip things in, and it’s enjoyable. However, the slimy, sour shit that comes out of a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch is diagusting.

        Homemade ranch really is on another level! Cheaper than the bottled stuff too. $1.50 for a small thing of sour cream and another $1 for a package of seasoning. I used to just use whatever was in my spice cabinet, but the package is so convenient if you just want it easy.

    Listen, I love ranch, but you’re gonna want to convince the Scots and let them try to convince everyone else. Ranch is amazing on fried food, and by fuck does Scotland fry food.
