I remember the first time I had ranch dressing at a friend's house, I couldn't wait to come home and tell my mom there was something other than oil and vinegar for salad.
Turns out she already knew that. We didn't have ranch dressing because of something called "too expensive." Can you believe that?
Don't tell me what to do you're not my real dad
will someone please tell these people about the dry ranch packets that you just mix with milk or butter milk.
Meanwhile, a German influencer named Freddy, who keeps his face hidden on X, recently went viral with his hilarious and enthusiastic reactions to trying fast food staples like Taco Bell, Waffle House and Buc-ee’s.
Aside from calling Taco Bell “the holy land,” he shared a picture of his chicken and fries platter from Raising Cane’s and wrote, “lives were changed. The soccer fan was undeniably impressed by Waffle House, writing about his 1 a.m. visit: “Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10/10, we will be coming back.”
Brother, if Taco Bell got you that excited you should try the real stuff. If you’re at a match in the US where any Latin American country is playing I guarantee there is an abuela in the parking lot/on the sidewalk selling food out of a cooler that will explode your European palate and send you directly to heaven.
He's from Germany.
Anything less bland than an American chain might kill him.
throws Maultaschen and Currywurst at you
Reminds me of this poem I heard
When I first moved to the states
The bottom fell out of my world
Then I discovered taco bell
Not the world falls out of my bottom

I hate when people say this, because they clearly don't actually understand the Taco Bell dynamic. They assume it's trying to be something it isn't.
Taco Bell is not Mexican food, and they do not claim to be Mexican Food. Their items are vaguely latin-inspired, and they generally use the same 5 or so ingredients that most Mexican food uses in various shapes and sizes, but nowhere on their marketing or website will you find a claim that they make Mexican food. They don't claim to, and they don't claim to be authentic. Expecting that or even comparing it to that, is disingenuous at best, and actively stupid at worst.
Taco Bell is its own thing. I'm in Arizona, there's Mexican food literally on every corner. Most good, some excellent, very little bad, because it just doesn't aurvive. Yet 9/10 people I see at Taco Bell are some flavor of Hispanic. There's a reason they go there, and it's not because they want Mexican food.
I came here to say this exact same thing! Thank you for saving me the trouble.
Cravings for Mexican food and for taco bell will not satisfy each other because they're not the same thing.
The whole point is we have authentic food from most countries available to us in Europe. Immigrants and cultures mixing is not unique to the US. What we don't have is all the big chain fast food that we see on tv, but have never tasted. We get excited because we get to try "authentic american" fast food.
My understanding was that it's difficult to find good, authentic Mexican food outside of North America
Yeah this guy is making the same mistake as the "Americans don't have an accent" people.
Raising Cane's
Ugh. even within the limited circle of fast-food and fast-casual chicken finger franchises, Cane's is bland nonsense. Fried chicken as interpreted by a Star Trek replicator, and not one from the Enterprise, but the Cerritos.
This is an advertisement.
Finally another person that can spot them.
For... Ranch dressing? Which brand? Or a plot by the Ranch Dressing Council?
All these posts make it sound like people just discovered the US for the first time ever. It’s just clickbait/trend bandwagoning.
There are a lot of people visiting the US for the first time for the world cup
I'm loving the cultural exchange the world cup is providing, euros now understand why we're so fat when the food's this fire!
You can make it yourself for a fraction of even the price of the packets.
Just made a small batch for wings. It's much better than anything store bought.
Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Clone
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk (Greek yogurt works fine)
Dried Parsley Flakes
Ground Black Pepper
Msg (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
Dried Thyme
I like to add a touch of dried dill or dill seed also. Edit: also lemon juice or a touch of rice vinegar.
Fuck that, we put ranch through dialysis machines.
Fuckin’ chug your ranch, godspeed!
This definitely fits in NotTheFrenchOnion
