I kinda still don't get the "ranch dressing on pizza" thing

[abcdefz]

Yeah. Ranch dressing is okay and all that, but I don't get the lust for ranch dressing on pizza. Barbecue sauce makes a little more sense.

I hadn't even run into this until I got to the Bay Area. Do other places do this?

Weird. You people are just weird.

[camo]

I like it. BBQ masks the entire flavour of the pizza in my opinion :p

[abcdefz]

...and you think ranch doesn't?

Barbecue seems complimentary, to me. Ranch seems like it's trying to take pizza in a whole other direction, or can't just love pizza for the tasty it truly is. Ranch seems like the shrewish spouse trying to cuckold her Italian Sausage Fiesta.

[abcdefz]

...you don't butter your pizza?

[Chicka B]

I like hotsauce on my pizza! I like ranch, but that shit's too fattening.

[abcdefz]

I like hotsauce on my pizza! I like ranch, but that shit's too fattening.


..like, tabasco?

I guess that could work.

Maybe Dijon mustard would taste good.

Hmmmm....

[abcdefz]

Wow. My response was about to be really filthy. :(

[Otis Driftwood]

How similar in flavor is that dressing to ranch flavor doritos?
And does it have a consistency like salad dressing? Some turkish kebap shops do stuff like this here, but I'm mostly "No, thanks."

[afronaut]

i have never heard of this before.

[abcdefz]

How similar in flavor is that dressing to ranch flavor doritos?



ehhhhhh it's in the same ballpark. Imagine the Doritos tasting colder and just a little less tangy.



And does it have a consistency like salad dressing? Some turkish kebap shops do stuff like this here, but I'm mostly "No, thanks."


Yeah; it's salad dressing.

[abcdefz]

i have never heard of this before.


It's a weird thing. I've even been to one restaurant that just serves the dressing with the pizza. That's just bizarre. But most places I've been to, when someone at the table asks the server for ranch dressing, they don't even blink. They just bring it out.

It also is the default sauce for breadsticks. Round Table has these little tubs of ranch that they pack with the breadsticks.

[Otis Driftwood]

I had Doritos on pizza a couple of times... (y) But Slaad dressing is (n)

[Whatitis]

Putting barbeque sauce seem wierd to me unless it's a BBQ chicken pizza. Mmmmmm! Ranch dressing is ok but I only use it for the crust. Keep it real on the pie.

[abcdefz]

At a takeout place in Indiana, barbecue sauce was an option, and it was really really good. Tangy, sweet, tasty. It went with everything. (y)

[QueenAdrock]

God, just reading this thread makes me fatter.

If I eat pizza, I like it with veggies mostly. Sometimes sausage. Not big on meat on pizzas. And dipping sauce is kinda gross.

[abcdefz]

I still dont get the whole potato chips mashed in a sammich thing

pshh, there is nothing like a good potato chip sammich.

Papa John's sends a cup of a butter garlic concoction and a pepper with their pizza. I guess it is a way to distract you from the fact that you bought a shitty pizza.

Speaking of odd food combos.....my father has been know to make a peanut butter sandwich then he puts a slice of onion on before he happily eats his creation. Needless to say...I am still dealing with my childhood.

haha!

my cousins from oregon introduced me and my friends to the whole ranch on pizza thing sometime in the late 90s. at first we all thought it was uber disgusting. now we can't have pizza without it.

oh, other weird combos - when i was a kid, every single day from first through sixth grade i brought a pepperoni and mustard sandwich to school. sometimes my mom would change it up and use a pita bread and add some cucumber slices. it sounds awful but it FUCKING ROCKS.

steger thought it was weird too, but then he tried it and was like OMG THAT IS AMAZING. he's the one that puts fucking tabasco on his mac and cheese. *shudder*

[beastiegirrl101]

from the ages of 7-12 I used to eat butter and ham sammiches like they were going out of style.

[skra75]

ranch is the singlemost nasty fucking substance on the face of the earth.
the thought of it on pizza is pretty much the same as thinking of that character from spaceballs who resembled a low-budget jabba the hutt who barfed on himself constantly.

[QueenAdrock]

I once ate a Twinkie dipped in ranch dressing on a dare.

It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was still kinda nasty.

[cosmo105]

ew ew ew. gross!

it's difficult for me to have a veggie burger (and i mean real veggies, not boca style) without a colossal green olive stuffed with jalepenos (or six).

[The Notorious LOL]

doritos, not potato chips. Its an ample substitute/compliment for/to cheese.

[beastiegirrl101]

[The Notorious LOL]

lol sorry I should have wrote Doritos since its a proper noun

[abcdefz]

I had ketchup-vanilla milkshake.

[beastieangel01]

This may sound weird but I never saw it done unless I was around white people. I only do it if someone orders shitty pizza because in that case it does help it taste better.

Also, hot sauce goes on everything, fyi. Its tasty.

I prefer fritos in my sammiches than any other chip. It compliments the mustard I slather on.

[cosmo105]

i'm a big believer in yellow mustard.

i dunno, i've never had a chip sammich. i'm kinda scared of the idea.

[Yeti]

I know I have said it before...but since we are speaking of condiments.

When I would put ketchup on my hotdog my father always used to say...........only idiots and people from Texas put ketchup on their hotdog!

.....another instance of my childhood gone wrong.

[abcdefz]

Huh? That's absurd.

[abcdefz]

...it's weird how some stuff that we've grown up with seems perfectly normal until we get out in the world. Then someone mentions that putting ketchup on eggs is gross?

Gross? I don't think so. At least: not as weird as pouring salt in your beer.

[Yeti]

not as weird as pouring salt in your beer.

Just what an alcoholic needs.........high blood pressure.

when i was a kid i always had ketchup on my eggs. when i got older it was ketchup and hot sauce. only scrambled eggs though. i didn't like eggs any other way.

I love your dad! When you ask for katsup for your dog anywhere in Chicago they give you a dirty look.

A real chicago dog only has onion, yellow mustard, pickle lilly, celary salt and sport peppers.

...as if the alcohol wasn't getting you there already.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

I dip my pizza in sweet chilli sauce - mmmmmmmm.

As for crisp (or potato chips are you call 'em) sandwiches. That is heaven right there. A cheese and crisp sandwich (y)

[abcdefz]

Ketchup on eggs works for me. But I remember how weird I thought it was when I was out having breakfast and this girl was just revolted by ketchup on eggs. Said she'd never even heard of it before.

I said no? What about syrup on biscuits? :D














No... I don't remember what I said.

[ericlee]

I don't understand putting ANYTHING on pizza. The sauce is between the crust and cheese so you needn't put anything else on it.

A-z, how can BBQ sauce make even a fraction of sense? It's BBQ sauce made for meats on the grill i.e. steaks, chicken. When's the last time you threw a slab of pizza on the grill?

[abcdefz]

Exactly. Barbecue + meats.

Ranch dressing + salad. Maybe there are bacon bits, but otherwise, there's no connection.

That being said -- no, I don't put anything on pizza. Seems like if pizza's made properly, what's there is there and you don't need to fuck with it.

[ericlee]

....and pineapple pizza. Bleh! Blech! Bleh!!!

[abcdefz]

Pineapple works just fine on pizza.

So does trout.

[Chicka B]

..like, tabasco?

I guess that could work.

Maybe Dijon mustard would taste good.

Hmmmm....

Yeah, I also put peppers on my pizza that aint weird is it? I like my pizza to have a bite I guess. :p

[abcdefz]

You want a pizza that bites back. :(

[na§tee]

you should never put fruit on pizza (don't be a smart arse, tomatoes don't count :cool:)
i have never tried ranch dressing and i'm not sure whether i want to now
mayonnaise is the only condiment you should use with chips (fries) or pizza

[wanton wench]

i dont know how to feel. i think you guys made me hungry but when i think about pizza i feel a lil sick. :confused:


so an ex of mine use to make peanut butter and cheese sandwitches. he was evil.

*barfs*

[abcdefz]

mayonnaise is the only condiment you should use with chips (fries) or pizza[/LIST]

(!) (!)

[na§tee]

on pizza? are you out of your mind?
ha! well, i wouldn't pour it over the top or anything like that, that's a bit, ew, gross. but if there's a crust and heeeey, there's some mayonnaise, i'll introduce them to each other, sure! don't have some sort of illicit mayonnaise layer in your head, that would be gross, ew.

my flatmate sometimes has cold baked beans, grated cheese and tomato sauce when he's (extremely) drunk and it makes me want to barf.

[synch]

Fun pizza fact #1: a proper pizza is normally under a quarter of an inch thick and does not drip oil.

[abcdefz]

Pfft.

[ericlee]

Yo E, I think you've been travelling aboard too much. BBQ sauce tastes on almost everyting, including pizza. The toppings, however, must appropriate though. And, pineapple on pizza is good. Bobby Frickin' Flay said so.

Ok, sure. I've only seen "dipping sauce" labeled on BBQ sauce packets. Yet I hear of people covering the whole pizza with it.

I bet there's people that put Chinese sweet and sour sauce on pizza too. Probably duck sauce as well.

I was goin to believe Nastee on the her pizza theory till I read the mayo on pizza bit.

They got lucky on the bratwurst and schnitzel.

But hey, it's pork! You can't ruin pork!

some baked beans mixed with a little yellow mustard (<3) and sweet pickle relish all mashed together and slathered on some thick multigrain toast with some slices of romaine is pretty much heaven.

Nah, man, that isn't odd. I do that myself and it's pretty damn good. Trust me. You gotta get some of those sweet onions for the best taste explosion though. Word 'em up.

Also, I don't think ranch, BBQ, or mayo is all that odd on pizza. Y'all need to expand your taste horizons.

This is, of course, coming from the resident fat kid.

[beastieangel01]

I despise mayo. DESPISE.

yeah, well...Germans also did that whole Holocaust thing and they used a David Hasselhoff song as their theme song to the toppling of the Berlin Wall, so I am kind of hesitant about trusting their judgement on anything.

[QueenAdrock]

I despise mayo. DESPISE.

MAYBE MAYO DESPISES YOU!

I once got dipping sauce for my steak fries and thought it was delicious. Then I found out it was just mayo. :( I still ate it though, shit is good.

[Randetica]

i thought only german assholes say 'mayo'nnaise

[Randetica]

oh ok, then we are the only ones who dont say mayo

[little j]

RANCH is good on just about anything. I dipped my fish and chips in it this evening. granted the fish was from IHOP and they didn't have malt vinegar... just like regular vinegar... so it wasn't perfect, but still very good.
ranch on pizza makes absolute sense.

mayo (and no i cant spell it) is excellent. cant have decent tuna or chicken salad without it.

we've got a new pizza with apricot sauce on it and that's fucking beautiful, i thought it'd be pretty dang but it's bloody good

[na§tee]

cosmo, i am shocked and disgusted at your cold baked beanage but at least you made an effort to class it up with bread and romaine and what not! so you are forgiven. a little. but there's no way in hell you're coming near me with one of them!

i am a little saddened by the mayo-berating, hah! it's the king of condiments. i mean, ranch and what not is essentially mayonnaise with different things added to it, right? we're going back to our roots.

and german cuisine is actually quite nice! i'm a total suckah for a good bratwurst (harhar).

i have ketchup on eggs! always. fried and scrambled.

i have never tried ranch on pizza, but nastee! i too, have dipped my pizza in mayo. and yes, chips always always get dipped in mayo.

say NO to bbq sauce on pizza! its too sweet for the pizza.

until recently i was pretty stuck on tomato sauce on pizza... until i tried:

pizza with tandoori chicken, mango chutney and raita
omfg i was in heaven!

i want pizza now :(

edit: i say mayonnaise but am often too lazy to type it
edit2: i put mayo on everything, EVERYTHING!! sometimes i jazz it up with lime juice or herbs or something
omg mayonnaise <3

[na§tee]

good morning board, i thought i would share a condiment story with you today.

so this morning i was really hella struggling so i thought "oh, let's go and get a scrambled egg roll!" because, you know, i like scrambled egg rolls and its good breakfast. so anyway, i order it and the woman asks "red or broon sauce?" that's what they say in glasgow - red or brown. we're a simple peoples. red is ketchup/tomato sauce, you numpties. brown sauce.. see the wikipedia :rolleyes: i very clearly said brown sauce. my mouth created a distinct "oooowwwwnnn" shape. anyway.

i saw her blatantly put red sauce on it, and i was like all timid "did.. did you put.. r..rred sauce on it?" and she's like "uhh yah!" and i said "um, can i just have my money back please? i'm sorry to bother you" when what i really wanted to do was grab her by the neck, pull her over the counter, open this disgusting example of a breakfast roll and point sternly at the red sauce over my EGGS and go "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, BITCH? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? DO YOU THINK ANY SELF RESPECTING PERSON WOULD HAVE FUCKING EGGS AND TOMATO-BASED SAUCE? I AM SCOTTISH AND I FUCKING DRINK BROWN SAUCE. YOU ARE MORE GLASGAE THAN I AM. GET BACK IN THERE AND MAKE ME ANOTHER ONE!"

um, she did. ha!

[Pres Zount]

The only thing the wiki page says is that brown sauce is often seen as shit.

[na§tee]

:mad:

[Pres Zount]

Well edit it and tell us all what brown sauce is, because I still have no clue. :mad:

[na§tee]

you live in a nation of ex-pats and you don't know what brown sauce is? disgusting!

british brown sauce: all feature a malt vinegar base blended with fruit and spices, with tamarind and worcestershire sauce being indispensable ingredients. unsurprisingly it is BROWN.
