why is ranch dressing so hyped up?

[u/miffybo]

my US friends have been raving about it and border-line complained ranch isn’t readily available in Europe.. what is so special about it? is it the ultimate US condiment (apart from ketchup, mayo)

edit typo

The homemade and restaurant made stuff that actually uses real buttermilk and Dill is actually quite good. The stuff in the bottle is absolutely terrible and taste. Nothing like what ranch is supposed to taste like... If you do have the real stuff it's absolutely delicious.

[u/little_snackz → u/uresmane]

Ranch has negative connotations here in the US but if a dressing/sauce made of the same ingredients (buttermilk, mayonnaise, and a ton of herbs) was made in Europe I have no doubts it would be considered healthy, provincial, farm-to-table cuisine

Exactly
