Quote from: claws on Today at 09:41:25 AMWhy Ranch Dressing never found a culinary home in Europe:
European palate preferences lean heavily toward vinaigrettes (oil and vinegar).
Ranch is often viewed overseas as overly processed or unappealingly thick for a salad.
Variations of Ranch can be found in Europe, but it is almost always rebranded as "Cool American" flavour (notably on Doritos) or simply labeled "Sour Cream and Chives", which uses a more familiar culinary vocabulary.
There are salad dressings with buttermilk, but they use entirely different ingredients and spices than what is usually found in Ranch.
