L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?


I had a ham-based bourbon cocktail yesterday. It was pretty okay.

I do not have a picture because, unfortunately, the ham was part of the mixing process but not in the glass itself. I really wanted a glass of hamcohol.

Mayo is eggs and oil. Ranch is dairy (and also oil for the commercial varieties, but.) You're way off. :stare:

Industrial Hidden Valley ranch is not good homemade ranch, and it definitely tastes of "bottled creamy fat" just like Hellman's mayo. And any case it's just gross to dip already flavorful bread into something creamy and fatty.

E: Come to think of it I didn't make a good enough distinction about the pre-made in a bottle part of my argument, so I apologize. Still can't imagine using a good homemade buttermilk ranch for dipping though. It just seems gross.

I'd think if fat midwesterners were all about MOAR FLAVOUR they might be interested in trying things that are spicy or foreign, but I guess it's more like MOAR OF WHAT I ALREADY KNOW I LIKE

Epcot's Festival of the Arts that's going on right now has a stand that only sells deconstructed food, like the Deconstructed BLT is tomato jam, pork belly, and a poached egg on a plate with sauce. They have a Deconstructed Breakfast cocktail: spiced apple chai tea, cream bourbon, and bits of candied bacon and a piece of waffle cone floating inside.

Oh
Oh no.

I've been brought back to when I was a kid and we used to drink pepto and eat cat food because we were hungry but weren't allowed to eat.

My mom and her friends were party animals,up drinking all night 3 nights a week blasting loud music until dawn. Me, my sister, and 3 other kids were always banished to the second level of this big house with 2 kitchens, but the upstairs one wasn't stocked with human food. Just cat food in the cupboards and pepto-bismol in the fridge. Being forced to be up all night due to the noise led to some hungry and desperate children.

Sometimes one of us was able to sneak to the big freezer and steal a bag of frozen veggies. We also ate part of a decade old decorative wedding cake.

Anyway that's my childhood and that's why I post on the Something Awful forums.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Ranch isn’t especially attractive to fat people, although it’ll definitely fatten you up— obesity leads to carb cravings, not flavor cravings. Ranch as a dip, like ketchup, is for toddlers with underdeveloped taste buds and smokers whose mouths are cardboard ash-wastes.

Which is 90% of the American Midwest so there ya go.

To be fair, we were having fun and thought it was hilarious. I laughed about it at school too. I've always tended to be positive no matter what. Neglect lets you get away with whatever you want. We used to sneak up onto the roof and watch the stars.

My theory about people dipping their pizza crusts in ranch is that it started (or at least accelerated) when Pizza Hut and some other pizza chains introduced buffalo wings in the '90s. If you ordered both breadsticks and buffalo wings as an appetizer, you would get a cup of ranch for the buffalo wings and a cup of marinara sauce for the breadsticks; it makes sense that people would experiment with dipping the breadsticks in ranch, and from there, they'd try dipping pizza slices or crusts into the ranch.

Maybe the breadsticks weren't really needed as an intermediary, but that's how I remember it happening in my case. I never moved on to dipping pizza in ranch, though, and eventually the breadsticks-and-ranch combination also lost any appeal for me.

I am my own man.

I comprehend dipping pizza crusts in ranch mostly because chain pizzerias have the absolute worst, least palatable crusts imaginable unless it's some sort of novelty stuffed-crust. Like, if I'm gonna be choking down the rear end-end of a Pizza Hut slice that has been basting in its own sludge for an hour, it's not gonna kill me any worse to dip it in this dairy goop, and the taste of ranch will overpower the taste of grease.

Frozen pizzas don't have enough of a crust to really consider doing this with, and most mom-and-pop pizzerias season their crusts with more than just butter.

I think it happened because of buffet style pizza places. People get their little salad on the same plate as the pizza and cross contaminate it with ranch, then eventually just ditch the salad and go hogwild with the ranch.

Those sound delicious imo


When I worked at dominos the city I worked in had a high backpacker population and a number of Euro backpackers used to get extra garlic aioli to dip their pizzas in. This was extremely good with a garlicky cheese pizza

I don't think these people understand what 'deconstructed' means. Also, why does the BLT have an egg? It's not a BLET :colbert:

Ranch is gross and I usually avoid it at all costs, but some damned reason I do like those lovely bacon ranch chicken sammies some fast food places have. Best thing is to get it with spicy chicken.

Last night I was at work, feeding some blood into the Nova machine and whispered to myself, "Have a sip". So, thanks thread?

Coming off of pizza and dipping sauces, can we talk about trashy rear end fast food items we enjoy? I no-poo poo liked the KFC double down (In a weird self-hating Fight Club kinda way) and those Taco Bell chicken chips (They were sorta spicy like BK chicken fries). A friend of mine raved about that whack-rear end Hardees burger with hot dogs and potato chips. He said it needed chili. We're not speaking at the moment.
