Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I hate ranch in general, I don't put it on anything, I hate cool ranch doritos and ranch "flavoured" things as well. Bleu cheese also has to be quality, I've have plenty of terrible BC dips, I usually make my own with buttermilk and gorgonzola, etc. But a top notch BC with Buffalo style pizza (crust) and wings just cannot be topped for my money.

Eleven Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately, ranch dressing is the condiment (or child's dipping sauce, because I love that, @Weave) of choice for almost everyone in America who is south and/or west of Chicago. That means that it was pushed on them, not that it is good. It is not good. It tastes like weak, sour milk with, I don't know, garlic powder and onion powder? Maybe? It doesn't cling to veggies or whatever one would dare to dip into its hellish and gelatinous substance; it doesn't add flavor or texture to anything; it just is a nothing sauce. Which speaks excellently to middle America. If you like ranch, you probably: *think that bratwurst is just a bigger hot dog *only order California rolls and the fried ***** at a sushi restaurant *drink Bud and Miller products--oh wait! Coors *go to Red Lobster for fancy night when much better food is available at nicer, local restaurants *eagerly await pumpkin spice season at Starbucks Edited April 23, 2023 by Eleven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Xanthan gum, soybean oil, eggyolks - none of that should be in a bleu cheese dressing but it is and while I still prefer those concoctions for wing dipping I can see how they could gross out a lot of people. If they were turned on to an old-school bleu cheese dressing recipe many would turn away from the dark side especially since it's distantly related to ranch. Ingredients 1 cup sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise 2/3 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste 4 ounces blue cheese, finely crumbled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmoe Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I feel like ranch became a thing because it's way cheaper to make vs blue cheese. Places that adapted wing eating later in the game accepted the newly adapted substitute whereas those that were in the OG wing craze knew better.

That said, I don't use ranch on my wings. I will however use ranch on my Buffalo chicken finger salad. I use oil and mayo on my chicken finger sub.. because those need something. But ranch on wings.. it's okay to just have the hot sauce. Order mild if you can't take the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a few shakes and stir it in (that's what the celery's for) and you can salvage it into something that resembles (but only resembles) Marie's.

DarthEbriate Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Ranch is a perfectly cromulent dressing for the supper club salad of iceberg, some carrot shreds, and a couple parcels of red cabbage. A ranch dressing starter packet is also handy for the base of a sauce for grilled salmon tacos topped with a citrus mango jalapeno salsa. Bleu is the only way to go with your Buffalo boneless wings though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
