    Love how a spy kids 2 quote from Steve Buscemi hit so hard it’s still circulating the internet twenty two years later.

    What is ranch? I’m English and I don’t have a valid frame of reference for the concept of ranch other than large cattle farm.

      A milk/cream based dressing with onion, garlic and dill as the main seasonings, with 4-5 others sprinkled in.

        That’s an unfair comparison.

        For grandparent:

        Ranch is mayonnaise-based, but is savory, with seasonings and plenty of umami. There’s a lot of variation, and IMO the best version is Uncle Dan’s (Amazon).

        It’s a cream dressing, so plenty heavy. Often used for dipping stuff. With Uncle Dan’s (which comes as a powder), you mix it with buttermilk and mayo for a dressing; or you mix it with Greek yoghurt (or sour cream) and mayo for a dip.

          I disagree that’s it’s an “unfair comparison.” It’s certainly not a 1:1, but to help someone with absolutely no bearing on what ranch dressing is understand, I think it’s a decent shorthand.

          It’s like if someone from Mexico asked what sriracha is and I replied, “it’s like the Thai version of Tapatío.” Is it perfect? No, there’s way more nuance, but it gets them most of the way toward understanding.

    It’s not deep fried ranch dressing. The image clearly states it is fried ranch flavored cream cheese. Fried cheese isn’t weird.

      I had it and I liked. Did I feel a little disgusting having it? Yes. But if someone offers you deep fried ranch at the MN State fair you got to try it.

      fried ranch flavored cream cheese

      Oh, well never mind. That definitely won’t taste absolutely horrible and is totally not a bad idea for a cheese flavor.

      Fried cheese isn’t weird.

      Isn’t it, though?

          Hey, you eat what you like, but separating hot fat from cold fat with some breading and making the cold fat also hot fat is kind of weird.

        Who says he hadn’t already done it a few times already, including the one people wrote about? It’s not like there would be many survivors to share the story … and the ones left alive would definitely be told what they could or couldn’t commit to history.

    Honestly that sounds delicious, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
