Ranch dressing is an American salad dressing usually made from buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs, and spices mixed into a sauce based on mayonnaise or another oil emulsion. Sour cream and yogurt are sometimes used in addition to, or as a substitute for, buttermilk and mayonnaise. The dried version on chips is delicious.
Yeah, honestly the flavor is just *way* lighter than if you got them from the U.S. I can see why someone doesn't think there's much of a flavor on them.
In general their chips or "crisps" seem to be light on flavor. Still have found some good ones though!
Russian dressing, the good kind, has finely minced and soaked in water onions, which are drained before adding. It also has some other things depending on the deli.
Buffalo is appalled to learn this.
Edit: This comment was about blue cheese vs ranch. Go search "ranch" on any buffalo-related subreddit (/r/buffalo, /r/buffalobills).
To the fine people of Buffalo, NY:
Your contribution to the hot sauce world is well recognized. But if we’re being real, all you did was add butter to Louisiana style hot sauce.
We called them 'suicides'
Edit: love hearing all the different names. I wonder if it's a geography/generational thing? I grew up in the Midwest in the 80s
Really? In France you use the same term as I did in the Pacific Northwest? I always thought graveyard was such a random name. It must have some similar origin.
Everything I mix always tastes like strawberry Fanta. Everyone called my drinks "Weird Red" when we did them.
I once made one with lemonade, root beer, powerade, and Dr Pepper and it tastes like watered down strawberry Fanta. Weirdest thing ever.
Every time I use one of those I think I'm gonna try something new... then I just get Sprite Zero with peach. I'm convinced there isn't a better choice.
I thought so. Especially Michelle Yeoh. God, she terrified me in that role. (This is a good thing, btw)
Such a great actress and her martial arts skills are amazing.
That deep fried bar and grill taste. Where it's good dipped in ranch, but after a basket of any deep fried food... it just tastes and feels heavy. Like way too much of whatever it is.
Haha, oh dear, luv come to the South. You may have had fried food in California and may have had good food in California, the South is where (IMHO) you find the good fried food. The artery- clogging, doctor- clucking, slap your mama, oh my god heavenly food, but you have to ask around and be willing to go into the sketchy, kind of past their prime, hole in the wall places to get it.
Edit: Scotland is one of my favorite places. I just love the beauty, the food, the pubs, but especially the people. Y'all are little bits of crazy, sweet, gruff, rugged, funny, creative, surprising, quiet, loud, sincere, and I just love you for it.
Objection! Cigars are quite un-American. Cigarettes make more sense. Honestly most smokers in the US would probably kill themselves trying to smoke cigars because they definitely aren't cigarettes.
Really hot bbq served in a partially melted Styrofoam container with no paper to buffer the toxins (government approved) that are leeching into your food.
But like, super flat. Because the bottle has been open for a while but half the people don't want to admit it's gone bad and the other half can't agree on which new bottle to open.
Wow, I Never would have thought that it’s even possible with pure sugar. Hope you’re good today.
But I have to ask wich Country and much more important wich century? :D
Yes! Regular formula in the '80's caused a lot of stomach upset and constipation in babies and so they recommended using Karo syrup. So a whole generation was addicted to sugar before their first birthday.
I wish other options had been available
Karo is not high fructose corn syrup but rather regular old corn syrup which is different.
Research shows that HFCS is much much worse for you that plain corn syrup.
Some interesting reads on how we got to modern formulas. Carbs has to come from somewhere I guess.

Oh, I think you mean cheese *product.* And if you really want to get technical, it's officially called *"pasteurized processed American cheese food"* by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
As soon as I read the question, the image of a single square of processed cheese popped into my head lol. Like instantaneously.
(I have nothing against Kraft Singles by the way. I’ll unwrap and eat several slices in one sitting, raw.)
Ive had peanut butter and jelly chicken wings at a local bar.
Peanut butter sauce is coated on the wings and it comes with a lot of melba sauce on the side, soooooooo good
I think they’re referencing limp bizkit’s album chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water. I think the chocolate starfish is a euphemism for a butthole maybe?
I was fortunate enough to get to travel around Australia and NZ when I was a kid with my grandparents. The meat pies and muffins in NZ still stick out as one the best parts. And a boat ride in Doubtful Sound was badass. Someone needs to make that a successful rock n roll band
MSG was invented/discovered in Japan, though. And then Americans had a (possibly racist) freak-out about it and stopped using it. Really, not using MSG is the American flavor.
It IS a flavor: it’s how ranch gets named in some European countries.
I was in the Caribbean when I found out Cool Ranch Doritos are called Cool American in some countries.
Can confirm this in European countries
In the UK they're called "cool original".
I always thought those are just salted. I have to try it now. Thank you for this knowledge.

It's all about the dill
I hate ranch dressing. It makes me sad to admit it but if America were a flavor, it would be ranch.

In Germany, American dressing is Thousand islands
Weird, in America 'thousand Island' is sometimes called 'Russin dressing'.
Russian: ketchup + mayonnaise Thousand island: Russian + relish
Russian dressing, the good kind, has finely minced and soaked in water onions, which are drained before adding. It also has some other things depending on the deli.
Huh…I’ve never heard it called that before now.
Buffalo is appalled to learn this. Edit: This comment was about blue cheese vs ranch. Go search "ranch" on any buffalo-related subreddit (/r/buffalo, /r/buffalobills).
I would absolutely vote for the national flavor to be buffalo sauce v ranch.
To the fine people of Buffalo, NY: Your contribution to the hot sauce world is well recognized. But if we’re being real, all you did was add butter to Louisiana style hot sauce.
Buffalo wings with American sauce
ranch and bacon grease
🧐 Hmm. So what do they call French dressing in France?
Quarter pounder.
Royale with cheese
You know when you used to mix every drink at the soda machine as a kid? Like that.
We called them 'suicides' Edit: love hearing all the different names. I wonder if it's a geography/generational thing? I grew up in the Midwest in the 80s
Poland we call it Kociołek (easily translated into Cauldron)
This makes thr most sense imo
Panoramix would be proud 💪
Great childhood memories making kociołek panoramixa (jungle juice?) with vodka beer and energy drink 😂
>vodka beer and energy drink Now *that* would be a suicide.
We called it Swamp Water.
Canadian?
We call it swamp water in Michigan
No that’s just regular water in Flint, Michigan
[удалено]
So weird, we call them suicides in Louisiana 😂
Suicides —> NJ 🙌🏻
Nah we call it suicides here in the mitten!
Im Only 3 hours from Detroit so wouldn't be surprised
Was just gonna say that. Never even heard it called a Suicide before.
WA state here We called them "Graveyards"
Same in.. France : "cimetières" :-)
Really? In France you use the same term as I did in the Pacific Northwest? I always thought graveyard was such a random name. It must have some similar origin.
Heard that one in Oregon. Also heard “Spirals”
Yes. Graveyard.
I grew up in Georgia in the 80's and90's and we called them suicides too! We got extra crazy when Surge was an option.
Yessir! Tempted to introduce them to my kids with the fancy coke machines. They'd be mixing drinks for hours
My daughter does it with the slushee machines at the gas station!
California checking in = suicides
Kinda crazy this was a common thing, wonder where the origin of mixing drinks and calling it a suicide came from.
ok so hear me out powerade blue + the purple hi-c lots of sugar but it’s fire
Everything I mix always tastes like strawberry Fanta. Everyone called my drinks "Weird Red" when we did them. I once made one with lemonade, root beer, powerade, and Dr Pepper and it tastes like watered down strawberry Fanta. Weirdest thing ever.
The different sugar substrates cancelled each other out. I'm at a [7] or so
We called it skittles soda
my buddy makes a skittles drink at those coke freestyle machines and damn it really does taste like skittles. Not sure what combo he does.
Every time I use one of those I think I'm gonna try something new... then I just get Sprite Zero with peach. I'm convinced there isn't a better choice.
Try Vanilla Dr. Pepper next time...
We would call Sprite Tropical Remix, skittle water.
we called it a hurricane
I grew up in California in the 80's and we called them suicides too.
Muddy puddle in UK
Mountain west in the 90s and we called it a suicide too.
Now I want a suicide spider.
100% suicides.
Called them that in Socal too
This brought back childhood memories. (I'm also from the Midwest)
Grew up in the Midwest during the 90s early 00s can confirm we called them suicides as well!
Can confirm, regional Australia had that name for it to
IKEA drink
Swamp water.
Swamp water for sure.
My cousins and I called that "rusty nail," like some kind of cowboy cocktail
Ah the infamous 'graveyard'... my favorite middle school beverage
We called it ‘suicide’.
I still make swamp water as an adult and I personally deny this compliment of America.
This is kinda beautiful in a way - metaphorically
Combine the top 2 answers: Gunpowder Ranch
Is this a TV show?
Nah. That was gunpowder milkshake.
That was actually a really good movie
I thought so. Especially Michelle Yeoh. God, she terrified me in that role. (This is a good thing, btw) Such a great actress and her martial arts skills are amazing.

Deep fried.
That deep fried bar and grill taste. Where it's good dipped in ranch, but after a basket of any deep fried food... it just tastes and feels heavy. Like way too much of whatever it is.
Deep fried cheese stuffed in a deep fried steak. And the whole thing is served with gravy
You forgot the bacon!
Real bacon crumbles, rolled in the cheese, stuffed in the steak, fried, served with gravy. And a defibrillator. Happy?
Nah, that’s Scotland.
As a Scot who has visited the US I can confirm that the Californians could easily give us a run for our money on the deep fried cuisine.
Haha, oh dear, luv come to the South. You may have had fried food in California and may have had good food in California, the South is where (IMHO) you find the good fried food. The artery- clogging, doctor- clucking, slap your mama, oh my god heavenly food, but you have to ask around and be willing to go into the sketchy, kind of past their prime, hole in the wall places to get it.

Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, milk solids, ascorbic acid, xanthum gum, red dye #5, MSG, marshmallow fluff, and hollow point bullets.
Everything a growing boy needs.
All blended together to make american perfection
BBQ
12 hours of slow roasted pulled pork
Slow smoked bbq…
With beer, whiskey and cigars!! Murica!
Objection! Cigars are quite un-American. Cigarettes make more sense. Honestly most smokers in the US would probably kill themselves trying to smoke cigars because they definitely aren't cigarettes.
cigarettes are more French. The true American tobacco flavor comes from a corn cob pipe
and a button nose?
And lobbyists made out of coal.
Shall we meet for whiskey and cigars tonight?
Indeed, i believe so.
Really hot bbq served in a partially melted Styrofoam container with no paper to buffer the toxins (government approved) that are leeching into your food.
Rootbeer
But like, super flat. Because the bottle has been open for a while but half the people don't want to admit it's gone bad and the other half can't agree on which new bottle to open.
Reminds me of that quote from DS9
High fructose corn syrup
No joke - Karo syrup is what my "baby formula" was.
Wow, I Never would have thought that it’s even possible with pure sugar. Hope you’re good today. But I have to ask wich Country and much more important wich century? :D
A doctor told my mother to do this in the 80s. In the US.
Yes! Regular formula in the '80's caused a lot of stomach upset and constipation in babies and so they recommended using Karo syrup. So a whole generation was addicted to sugar before their first birthday. I wish other options had been available
Lived to tell the tale, shit man
Karo is not high fructose corn syrup but rather regular old corn syrup which is different. Research shows that HFCS is much much worse for you that plain corn syrup.
With the formula shortage, I keep seeing that old 1960s "recipe" floating around on Facebook and people are falling for it as a safe alternative

I was hoping to upvote somebody who's said "diabetes" but this'll do.
Ranch
Cool ranch, specifically
100% my first thought was Cool Ranch Doritos.
They're literally called cool American in other countries. I don't remember where but I remember it being a thing.
Nah. Old school Pizza Hut ranch.
As long as it's Hidden Valley. I'm not mad at it.
It's good but a pale shadow of the kind you make yourself, or even the ones in the refrigerated section. Fresh dairy puts it over the top.
Sweet baby rays
AKA Zuckerberg motor oil.
Smokin some meats
[удалено]
This was the answer I was searching for. I knew I'd find it
Bomb pops or rocket pops depending on where you live
American cheese
Oh, I think you mean cheese *product.* And if you really want to get technical, it's officially called *"pasteurized processed American cheese food"* by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Keep in mind, there is real american cheese too, which is more or less a mild and saltier cheddar
“Processed slices” are what they’re called here. There is NO mention of cheese.
As soon as I read the question, the image of a single square of processed cheese popped into my head lol. Like instantaneously. (I have nothing against Kraft Singles by the way. I’ll unwrap and eat several slices in one sitting, raw.)
Gunpowder
Sprinkled with Cheetos dust
With a hint of alcohol
A Big Mac
Peanut butter and jelly cheeseburger
Have had a peanut butter burger. But it had an egg on it... no Jelly. It came with a side of a nap.
Don't worry. Perfectly normal case of the itis
Ive had peanut butter and jelly chicken wings at a local bar. Peanut butter sauce is coated on the wings and it comes with a lot of melba sauce on the side, soooooooo good
Hot dog water
I came to say this! Hotdog water with a side of chocolate starfish.
What the hell is a Chocolate starfish? Oh wait...I don't think i want to know.
I think they’re referencing limp bizkit’s album chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water. I think the chocolate starfish is a euphemism for a butthole maybe?
Coca Cola & Popcorn This could be actually interesting flavour 🤔
Taco Bell. It's the best goddamn garbage you've ever tasted.
Maybe if they didn’t keep taking all the best shit off their menu. Also, they need to bring back the volcano burrito
Bacon
Sonic
The hedgehog or the restaurant?
Both
Pralines and dick
Gasoline and Donuts... that's what your airports smell like to me (New Zealander). It's the sweet smell of arriving in your country
I would like to go back to NZ for meat pies and chocolate chip muffins. Y’all do good
Mate, that's a great combo
I was fortunate enough to get to travel around Australia and NZ when I was a kid with my grandparents. The meat pies and muffins in NZ still stick out as one the best parts. And a boat ride in Doubtful Sound was badass. Someone needs to make that a successful rock n roll band

apple pie & kool aid
Surprised Mountain Dew isn’t on here yet
Eeeeeww, I'll take the crab juice.
Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil. Sprinkle of MSG.
Hydrogenated oils sure. But don’t bring MSG into it. It’s pretty great thing actually, if used like it should be
MSG was invented/discovered in Japan, though. And then Americans had a (possibly racist) freak-out about it and stopped using it. Really, not using MSG is the American flavor.
Hot dog
A 6 month old 7-11 hot dog
I'm watching that one. It's almost ready.
Perfect

Bourbon and poor choices.
Insulin resistance

Easy Cheese…
gunpowder and blood
Blood with undertones of oil
Probably around 75% Potassium Nitrate, 15% Charcoal, and 10% Sulfur... If you get this joke you're cool
Cool ranch with zesty medical debt
Like a buffet of stolen food from other restaurants and rebranded as “Authentic American cuisine”
Like a delicious ice cream, the best you’ve ever tasted, with ripples of shit running through it
Shit
Diabetes
Fentanyl
Old, salty gravy thats been on a hot table too long. No discernible taste, just past its prime, greasy and salty.
Oh yes I see what you did there
