Ok but I have to break the news to you: I know many European people who have gone ape shit when they tried ranch for the first time.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 1 points 43 seconds ago

I’ve been to a few places in Europe where I know that if I brought in ranch and put it on the food, I’d be killed.

My unpopular opinion

Ranch is disgusting

In Europe they don't know what ranch is so Cool Ranch Doritos are called Cool American Doritos...

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 3 points 33 minutes ago

in ireland its called Cool Original

[–] Jiral@lemmy.org 4 points 2 hours ago

What's that "Ranch"? Just the usual mix of fat and sugar to drown any food and its taste with, good American style?

After having gone out and tried other brands of ranch (hidden valley was my family's goto all my life), I have found that I aftually quite hate hidden valley's.

This new form of American imperialism is shockingly evil.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 23 points 4 hours ago

No no, this makes sense. The world's opinion of us is already as low as it can possibly get, this can only help. Not likely but how much worse could it get?

Honestly, if he isn't picked they are just losing money on this.

Ranch it up bro!

Which country will one of these people end up getting murdered? My money’s on France. Someone is going to douse their steak au poivre in bacon flavored ranch, and the reaction won’t be pretty.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

Yo this is how you start WWIII

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 17 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

My money is on Italy the moment they try using it as pasta sauce.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 56 minutes ago

Or basically any other food, for that matter.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 hours ago

If they can even survive past asking why their pizza doesn’t have any cheese on it.

Okay I get that it might be dangerous but I'm not sure if I am more or less intrigued now

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

It's fine as long as they livestream it

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Listen, I love ranch, but you're gonna want to convince the Scots and let them try to convince everyone else. Ranch is amazing on fried food, and by fuck does Scotland fry food.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 minutes ago

Now I want a scotch egg dipped in ranch.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 hours ago

Free food, traveling across Europe, and all the ranch I can eat? Sign me the fuck up

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 8 points 4 hours ago

Another Walmart moment.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

They should bring Eric Andre along, he knows how to Ranch It Up!

The perfect representative doesn't exist... Nvm.

They should bring better ranch. Nothing will taste good with shit like Hidden Valley.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Sounds like something ranch purveyors would do.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Litehouse is better (it has what the ranch craves (buttermilk))
