@cmyk

Maybe he’s thinking of Seven Seas?

Naw, around here it would be more like Six Swamps

This discussion tires me. BRING ME MY RANCH DRESSING HOSE!!!

While I am probably totally wacked when it comes to my ranch/thousand island metal connection here is an interesting note:

Where Are These Thousand Islands? The Origins of 7 Condiments & Sauces

the worshistershire story is cute.

Maybe I am just totally misremembering stuff here, but ISTR that Thousand Island was a type made by a specific company, then they got famous making that type and branched out to all kinds of other types, ranch being a “somewhat” close relative to the original “thousand island” flavor, as opposed to stuff like oil and vinegar/italian/russian/blue cheese kind of dressings.

If I AM totally misremembering this, just ignore the fact that for some reason I made a mental connection between “ranch” and “thousand island”. Geez, its nots worth getting your salad in a toss or spilling some special sauce

You’ve got it backwards. Ranch dressing was originally created by a resort called the Hidden Valley Ranch, which later expanded into selling other types of dressing. So Ranch was originally a brand as well as a type.

Thats probably the convoluted thought process/memory I have here.

Has everyone forgotten that the Big Mac is a poor copy of the Big Boy? Everyone where I lived knew it when the Big Mac came out.

“Thousand island” dressing once required a lengthy collection of ingredients from a vast archipelago, which in dugout canoes could take several generations to complete. So shut up and eat your goddamned Big Mac.

Except the Big Boy has an absolutely wonderful red relish on it instead of the dressing.

Not in the midwest- it’s thousand island style sauce. Now I want to go to Frisch’s!

@RealityChuck

Try it on roast beef some time. That (or with Russian dressing) is how God intended roast beef sandwiches to be made.

Isn’t that called the Morey Amsterdam sandwich <cue Gumby saying dammit!>
