I never really understood the fascination with ranch that some people have.

I’ve found that basically all commercial ranch (hidden valley) is mostly just soybean oil and doesn’t taste like shit.
A local pizza joint to me has custom made ranch that is unironically amazing. YMMV.

Homemade ranch (or at least, mixed up on site for restaurants) can be really good. There’s a bar near me that serves a great ranch with their buffalo wings. The thick, globby stuff in the bottles is never lives up to expectations.

Nothing wrong with thick, if it’s got good flavor. I wish I had gotten Po’ Folks (a southern food restaurant chain local to me) ranch dressing recipe before it went out of business during the pandemic. It actually had identifiable chunks of minced carrot etc. suspended in it.
I miss it so much, along with a few other things from that place, that I’m almost motivated to try to track down somebody who used to work there and remembers.

Maybe this is just the American within me speaking, but I unironically enjoy comercial sauces. If it was disgusting, no one would buy them.

Yup. I’ve never had a good mass produced Ranch. Homemade Ranch is crazy good.

Is the local place Jet’s? People go crazy for their ranch around here

No it’s a locally owned pizzeria that has a secret recipe. I’ve been told it’s primarily a lard base.

I love ranch sauce.
This is not about ranch sauce specifically, but i found a good channel (FoodParables) which has a video for making your own ranch seasoning at home. If it’s of interest. Linked on the channel name in brackets

I tried some Paul Newman’s Ranch once, never having had ranch before. It was bloody awful!

Diplet detected.
Ranch is merely the primer for the second coating of whichever sauce you prefer.

I never understood the fascination with becoming as fat as possible

some people have their lizard brains react very poorly to the amount of sugar and fat and salt that’s inside modern hyper palatable food

“I didn’t mean to get fat. IDK, it just happened” pops another sauce-drenched nuggie down the hatch

Sugar has addictive properties, including withdrawal and relapse patterns similar to dependence forming drugs. It obviously doesn’t affect everyone the same way, but a subset of people are at a much higher risk. Make them poor and put them in a sedentary society where all cheap food is made hyper-palatable with excess sugar and fat and…drumroll… they turn obese.
Shaming all fat people isn’t much better than the old caricature of drunkard indigenous Americans. There’s systemic issues at play.

Really good freshmixed stuff is 3x better than generic store bought.

A lot of the places use to much mayo when they mix and it ends up mayo sauce. I’ve heard good things about cutting down the mayo with sour cream though.
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Its almost the same as the fascination the Japanese have with mayonnaise, honestly.

I was sitting in a Walmart parking lot in rural Iowa many years ago waiting for my inlaws to finish shopping. An older couple, probably early 60s, starts unloading their groceries into the station wagon next to me. The woman grabs a bottle of ranch from one of the bags, takes a long swig, screws the lid back on, tosses it into the trunk, and continues unloading the cart.
It was the most American thing I’ve seen outside of a jail cell.

As a Californian this is why the fly over states disgust me. At least when I’m weird with food it at least has two primary ingredients, like the nacho dog which is basically just taking a hot dog and dipping it in nacho sauce.
