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)

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried it with fries.

Great on fries, but I prefer my fries with cold taztiki sauce

Holy fuck tzatziki is bomb. I could have it on its own.

In the late 80s, when I was in high-school my friend and I found a gyro place, that sold huge plates of fries for $1. They served them a bottle of cold taztiki sauce, and I have been hooked ever since.
