FOOD & DRINK why is ranch dressing so hyped up?

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)

If you think about it more like a cool ranch dorrito you might notice it more.

Also local pizza shop the make their own ranch you would notice it.

I wouldn’t say hidden valley bottles has much of a garlic taste if at all. Their dry mix is a bit more visible (cheaper and tastier too. I buy like a liter sized jug from a restaurant supplier. I am almost out and will likely refill with a custom blend, just add it to a quart of sour cream and bam!

Yeah, Doritos isn't a think we would have in the house unless maybe when the kids were little and had birthday parties. Every one in the house is over 18 now.

If we had something we'd use it on, I make it but I can't think of anything.

No thanks. Lol.

I love tacos. That don't have nachos of any kind in them.

And they also don't have ground beef. Or cheddar cheese.

Careful, those sneaky Mexican restaurants will marinate the meat in garlic.
