The History of Ranch Dressing
So, I haven't had time to piddle around with this. In fact, I began but did not finish new entries two weeks ago. Since they're no longer timely, I'll stick 'em in the site proper sometime soon.
Meanwhile, Matt forwarded me this lovely article from Slate on the history of ranch dressing, which in 1992 surpassed Italian as America's favorite salad dressing. I particularly enjoyed learning that the Clorox company once owned the Hidden Valley Ranch brand.
"How did this simple mixture of mayonnaise, buttermilk, and herbs become America's favorite way to liven up lettuce?" (Well, I think your answer may be right there. The proof's in the mayonnaise.)
Go to article.
