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!
I made ranch for the first time today. A lot of buttermilk and sour cream and cream cheese
And we're smack dab between 2 places known for slow cooking in fat. Ffs we got heavy French plus a harsh winter to the north, and mfers who bury half a pig for a day in hot coals to the south!
Unexpected couchon. You haven't had pork till you've eaten a couchon de lait seasoned to Creole standards and cooked in good swamp earth.
Edit: wait. Half a pig?
It's how I've had it. There was a butcher in South Florida years and years ago that sold them for cheap, and it was an easy thing to do for medium sized gatherings.
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

shit, it’s spreading
Ranch is gross, I'm sorry
Ranch from a dressing bottle is gross. A home made ranch sauce is actually pretty good, basically like white sauce with more tang.
That's your opinion. It's wrong, but you are entitled to it.
Out of curiosity are you also one of the genetically-deficient that think cilantro tastes like soap?
Nah I like cilantro!
Homemade ranch with fresh herbs, garlic, buttermilk and fish sauce is amazing.

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.
I remember one time my American family hosted some French exchange student and he and all his classmates were dying for taco bell and dunkin donuts. I still honestly don't know why as French bakeries make much better stuff than what you can get at dunkin

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.
There's a whole spectrum of cravings for Mexican. Sometimes it's Taco Bell, sometimes it's Azteca, sometimes it's that unlicensed al pastor pop-up at the edge of the Winco parking lot at night, and sometimes it's authentic Oaxacan pollo con mole.
A friend from Australia was visiting me in LA and wanted all the California stereotypical food throughout the week. The only thing that surpassed all expectations was an al pastor burrito from a local mom and pop shop.
He's from Germany.
Anything less bland than an American chain might kill him.
Germans like it scharf and they love sarcasm

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.
MSG IS NEVER OPTIONAL!!!
I added that so people that don't have any at home don't stress.
Makes Shit Good
