when your food is so greasy/salty that's all you can taste you need the refreshing combo of buttermilk and garlic powder to cut through it

for some reason i have a pet peeve about people calling ranch dressing just "ranch," e.g. all the above posts referring to a "big bowl of ranch" or whatever

also when people call parmesan cheese just "parmesan"

i know it's irrational, but it's like hearing someone say ambliance or psgetti. ugh

i think its mainly a text thing

regardless, i like the entire "wait thats an actual place?" reactions for food products. eg americans not knowing parma is a place, chinese not knowing that kentucky is a place, etc.

(also the latter is absolutely actually a thing, more than one grad student in my dad's department said that they only looked at kentucky because they were surprised that it was an actual place and not just the name of KFC)

exactly, so if you go to europe and buy something that says "wisconsin cheddar" on it should that imply that its cheddar cheese from wisconsin and not actually from vermont or some local "wisconsin style cheddar"?

its not new, dipshit mega corps in europe have been fighting for years to take back long genericized food terms so they can open a garbage factory int he vague area of a product origin from 700 years ago, and monopolize sales with it.

san marzano tomatoes are a great example, there's only like 30 farms that have actually been growing that variety for a long time but somehow tens of millions of pounds of dop-labeled "san marzano tomatoes" are sold every year

There's a California champagne by Paul Masson, inspired by that same French excellence.

ive never been to one but it always seems like an exciting adventure. i went to hometown buffet a few times with my parents in the early 2000s, those were OK? like super mediocre but iirc no one sticking hands in salad bars and grabbing food out of the bins with their hands and licking their fingers or anything. also iirc no chocolate fountain

imo the only good buffet is Indian buffet because indian food as it it's best when its a bunch of things like tikka masala, tandori, saag paneer, dal, korma, etc but ordering each of those ala carte is too loving expensive

even among buffets, golden corral is terrible

quote:

The village of Champagne, Switzerland, has traditionally made a still wine labelled as "Champagne", the earliest records of viticulture dated to 1657. In an accord with the EU, the Swiss government conceded in 1999 that by 2004 the village would phase out use of the name. Sales dropped from 110,000 bottles a year to 32,000 after the change. In April 2008 the villagers resolved to fight against the restriction following a Swiss open-air vote.
