    I really want to find a bottled ranch that I find tasty so I can sate myself in the times I want a salad but don't want to go through the effort of making homemade ranch dressing. Unfortunately everything I've tried so far has sucked: shelf-stable premade ranch sucks because of the extra preservatives and shit they need to add to it to make it shelf stable and all of the refrigerated premade ranch I've had so far was apparently in the "this is for dipping" category rather than "this is for putting on salad" one since they were so thick I couldn't pour them, I had to spoon them out of the jar.

    I’ve only had bottled ranch dressing and while I could see the appeal, it kinda sucked. I figure I need to try some homemade stuff to really get down with it

    my position on ranch is that it is fine, I keep a bottle in the fridge for the odd craving, but I don't put it on anything but salad

    scratchmade ranch, however, is fuckin' delicious and one of the first things I'm gonna do once we can do shit again is go to this one bar that serves it with their tater tots

    When I had a bottle that was still mostly full and getting toward the end of its life, and needed other things to put it on, I hit upon pouring a little into the scraped-out skins of baked potatoes. Num.

    beaver brand is okay

    there was also a brief period of time in which Trader Joe's had this jalapeno dill tartar sauce and it was unbelievably good

    their standard tartar sauce is the worst I've ever had by a wide margin

    speaking of ketchup from the chip butty earlier, I have recently found I have a taste for less sweet, more vinegar-y ketchups

    Benelux style curry ketchup is the way, the truth, and the light.

    Is this similar to the sauce from currywurst?

    One time I tried to order a burger with blue cheese on it, and instead they just brought me a dipping bowl of blue cheese dressing.

    So anyway, that's what I dip my tots in these days, because it turns out it rules.

    My wife was suitably impressed when she tried the zero chicken burger last year.

    I ended up making my own KFC herbs and spices mix from a youtube channel during our first lockdown, and I'll be damned if it isn't as close as I'll ever get to that crack cocaine like coating.

    Well I'm relieved to see she just
    dug up an animal that was already dead (allegedly? I only skimmed some headlines)
    Your post made me think she killed something. So, strange yes, but not cruel.

    People tend to use chicken as a common comparison for taste so I have to assume so

    They've had the no chicken burger from KFC in the UK for a while. Is it the same thing?

    I've had it, it's nice but not as good as real chicken.

    Also on the topic of non meat burgs.

    Made these last night

    The Best Black Bean Burgers I’ve Ever Had

    Link to a picture from the receipe.

    They were a bit of a faff to make. But excellent.

    There is ALOT of cheese in that. The burg has fetta in it. Then you top it with cheese.

    It was from the Glen and Friends youtube channel. linky
    This was the blend they thought was best, and what I went for though I use 60g per 200g plain flour and don't bother brining. The smell of the spice mix is overpoweringly clove and allspice, which worried me at first, but when deep fried with flour on chicken, it is, to my taste, pretty damn close.


    Dustin’s Recipe with MSG:
    28g (1oz) White Pepper
    28g (1oz) Black Pepper
    14g (.5oz) Garlic Salt
    7g (.25oz) Sage
    7g (.25oz) Coriander
    7g (.25oz) Ginger
    7g (.25oz) Cayenne
    3.5g (.125oz) Clove
    3.5g (.125oz) Allspice
    3.5g (.125oz) Savory
    1.8g (.0625oz) Marjoram
    1.8g (.0625oz) Thyme
    340g (12oz) salt
    25g msg

    Tested 40g spice mix with 200g cake flour
    2 tsp spice in 4 cups water brine

    Lucky me I have not had actual kfc in... probably over a decade so I won't know the difference. But hopefully I can use this as a base to re create bojangles cajun recipe. It's the far superior fried chicken option but it's regional even in the us south. (And seemingly not in any city in the south either, I think the margins are too low for expensive real estate)

    Powdered ranch makes burgers taste extra zingy and that's about all I have ever used ranch for. Cool ranch doritos are the better of the doritos flavors though.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Ever since I found out that MSG is fine, actually, I’ve been testing it out in dishes. I gotta say, I wish I’d been doing this for the last 15 years or so.

    You won't (often?) find it in supermarket spice racks. Maybe in the baking aisle near the salt - I usually pick it up at asian grocers where it's more common.
