Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who does not like ranch flavoring. To a lesser degree, I don’t like apple pie either. Like, if I was served a slice of apple pie and courtesy required me to at least eat a few bites, I would. But I would absolutely not if it was a dish, say, covered in ranch dressing.
I think most people would refuse apple pie covered in ranch dressing, too.
For me, it’s steak. It’s… okay, but not all that exciting. But I don’t get the reverent devotion to it that a lot of Americans have. If I’m going to eat plain animal muscle all by itself, I prefer chicken. (Both are better as an ingredient in a dish.)
Steak is one of those things that can go from meh to heavenly depending on the cut and how you cook it.
Cheap sirloin grilled without seasoning… eh…
For my birthday this year I splurged on some thick, prime ribeye cap steaks, took the time to season them and let them dry in the fridge for about 24h, and then cooked them to a nice rare in a cast iron pan with a silly amount of butter, some garlic, and a few sprigs of rosemary, and it was easily one of the best things I’ve eaten all year.
I did phrase that poorly, lol, but I know people who probably would consider that a delicacy 🤮
