All Hail Ranch.

Ubiquitous, terrible, unhealthy and boring, Ranch is the Condiment of America. According to Wikipedia, Ranch dressing is made of buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs (commonly chives, parsley, and dill), and spices (commonly black pepper, paprika, and ground mustard seed), mixed into a sauce based on mayonnaise. Whether as a sauce, a dressing, a drink, or an industrial lubricant, we all know, love and bathe in it.

But this is the year 2018- surely we goons can do better (read: worse)!Hence this contest:

Invent the successor to Ranch as the Official Condiment of America.

How to enter
Entries should post a recipe to make an entirely novel sauce that will supplant the vital role of Ranch in the American diet and zeitgeist. Bonus :effort: points for actually taking photos of yourself making your new sauce and applying it to something.

Scoring
Entries will be scored on how well goons think the condiment will meet the desired criteria. Is the new sauce:

1. Disgusting (as measured in calorie count, ingredients, or how it feels when rubbed between your fingers/elsewhere)
2. Universal (Does it seem like your ingredient would appear on salads at Ruby Tuesdays? Can Pringles make a kind of chip flavored off of it? Can Pepsico flavor a Mountain Dew variant with it? Could it be given a different name and appear on every New American menu in the country? )
3. American (Is the new recipe :911: enough? Naming, ingredients, preparation, cultural role, everything counts here.)

Winner decided by thread consensus.

Prize
Winners receive nothing but attention and scorn.

Example Entry

"Rumble Sauce"

One part pureed tomato
One part melted butter
Dash dried black pepper
Salt to taste

This is to be served over any food as a "hot sauce". Comfortably domestic yet "exotic" and "spicy", this sauce is perfect for service on any cuisine, at any occasion, in any setting. Also popular in mixed drinks in need of a bigger "kick".

If my kitchen manager lets me make an extra batch tomorrow, I will document our in-house sauce, which I feel is firmly poised to be America's Next Top Iron Ranch IdolTM

Okay here's my submission. It's Called Gun Violence Sauce. It goes on everything!
Recipe:

3/4 cups sour cream
1/4 cup cream
2 jalapenos, roasted, then seeded and veined so nobody calls 911
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
dash of onion powder
dash of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend away!

Nutritional Information:

A flickering red neon sign that says "BLOOD SEX"

Goes great with:

Microwaved steak fingers! I didn't have these in the cafeteria in middle school like many people did, so they're not utterly ruined for me.

REVIEW: Pretty solid dipping sauce. The taste is mild with a little bit of spiciness that lingers for a second.

Shredded pork tacos! Don't they look wonderful? See how it shines under the stove light?

REVIEW: Works well enough, but not as well regular sour cream without all this pageantry. Even sour cream has to make way for Gun Violence Sauce, though!

Salad! This is a cheap and basic Caesar salad from HEB. Just like ranch, the official condiment of the Alt-Right, Gun Violence Sauce can be either a dip or a dressing! Just add another splash of cream and some more salt + pepper so the flavor isn't diluted too much. Isn't this a nice, regular sized bowl?

REVIEW: It was going to be a boring salad either way, and Gun Violence Sauce didn't fix it. Oh well!

Well that's my sauce folks! Hail Satan!

This actually looks tasty, although I might double the jalapeños (and smoke them instead of roast them cuz I like to do that) and add some fresh chives, cilantro, parsley, and lime juice. Also replace the cream with buttermilk and add real garlic.


EDIT: Oh and put some adobo sauce from a chipotle can in there.

That's all great advice for a good sauce, but I was going for more of a mass produced dollar store vibe (which is why I subbed onions and garlic for powder.)

I think you need at least two ingredients for a sauce, and counting the sperm doesn’t count.
