ngl that picture looks unappealing af

chopsticks. you need chopsticks

And coronary occlusion emergency surgery. Sooner or later.

Really, these are great for most things and a dirt-cheap hygiene option too. Use them for potato chips, cheetos, cheeze-its... everything where you're tempted to lick salt/powder/sugar off of your fingers. Did we really learn nothing from the pandemic?

No and I refuse to learn anything from it I'm in statesia I have been very clear.

The use of the cupcake tray for a dipping sauce tray is pretty great. Im always excited when my kitchenware has multiple purposes.

shiii

I just throw the nuggets in a large mixing bowl. Toss in a couple tbl of Gochujang, 1 tbl toasted sesame oil a tsp of honey, some sesame seeds, 2 tsp garlic powder, green onion, thin shallot, and a nice healthy dose of kosher salt. If I'm feeling fusiony, i'll swap the salt with Sazon seasoning.

Imagine anon's face after trying your instructions, having accidentally cooked a whole meal on their own instead of mummy doing it

Ends up sick because instructions didn't specify using clean dishes. Blames everyone else and cites it any time anyone tries to get him to do something for himself. This does not turn out well for him once his parents pass away.

There would be more green text.

Incidentally, I made that post before lunch and thought about it so much I went upstairs and made it :) Added cotija cheese and a big spoon of salsa.

I'm now partially comatose :P

Remember, a thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Thanks, Bob Ross

Im a double dipper because I never share my tendies

id say most of the time whatever you are dipping is the secondary thing, you just want to eat the dip but eating it by itself is too overwhelming.

the right ratio of salsa to nacho is 2 parts salsa 1 part nacho so

2:1 ratio (by mass)

That's why knowing physics and densities matter. It allows you to multi-dip without contamination.

If your plate doesn't look like a pallet of paint after you've loaded it up, are you really living?

At some point you gotta admit the nuggies are only there so you're not shoving spoonfuls of ranch down your gullet

bro that's disgusting

Some people like nuggets. No need to shame.

I never really understood the fascination with ranch that some people have.

I was sitting in a Walmart parking lot in rural Iowa many years ago waiting for my inlaws to finish shopping. An older couple, probably early 60s, starts unloading their groceries into the station wagon next to me. The woman grabs a bottle of ranch from one of the bags, takes a long swig, screws the lid back on, tosses it into the trunk, and continues unloading the cart.

It was the most American thing I've seen outside of a jail cell.

As a Californian this is why the fly over states disgust me. At least when I'm weird with food it at least has two primary ingredients, like the nacho dog which is basically just taking a hot dog and dipping it in nacho sauce.

Ranch it up bro!

I never understood the fascination with becoming as fat as possible

some people have their lizard brains react very poorly to the amount of sugar and fat and salt that's inside modern hyper palatable food. i don't think many people necessarily want to get fat enough to be at risk for various diseases, it just happens to them. and there are also people more at risk for impulsive actions or less control over their actions, like people with adhd and autism.

a lot of the information on nutrition out there is also either pure propaganda or meant to muddy the waters, so sometimes for people who aren't very into nerding out over things it can be difficult to understand what good nutrition might be like.

"I didn't mean to get fat. IDK, it just happened" pops another sauce-drenched nuggie down the hatch

Ranch is gross tbh

I've found that basically all commercial ranch (hidden valley) is mostly just soybean oil and doesn't taste like shit.

A local pizza joint to me has custom made ranch that is unironically amazing. YMMV.

Maybe this is just the American within me speaking, but I unironically enjoy comercial sauces. If it was disgusting, no one would buy them.

Homemade ranch (or at least, mixed up on site for restaurants) can be really good. There’s a bar near me that serves a great ranch with their buffalo wings. The thick, globby stuff in the bottles never lives up to expectations.

Nothing wrong with thick, if it's got good flavor. I wish I had gotten Po' Folks (a southern food restaurant chain local to me) ranch dressing recipe before it went out of business during the pandemic. It actually had identifiable chunks of minced carrot etc. suspended in it.

I miss it so much, along with a few other things from that place, that I'm almost motivated to try to track down somebody who used to work there and remembers.

You can Google and find results for that ranch recipe. Not sure how it compares to the original.

Got a link? I found one AJC article with a recipe for the tuna salad, which uses the ranch dressing as an ingredient, but it doesn't include a recipe for the dressing itself.

"That" ranch recipe, from that specific restaurant, is noticeably different from any ranch I've had anywhere else. Random southern-style ranch recipes aren't what I'm looking for.

Yup. I’ve never had a good mass produced Ranch. Homemade Ranch is crazy good.

Is the local place Jet’s? People go crazy for their ranch around here

No it's a locally owned pizzeria that has a secret recipe. I've been told it's primarily a lard base.

I love ranch sauce.

This is not about ranch sauce specifically, but i found a good channel (FoodParables) which has a video for making your own ranch seasoning at home. If it's of interest. Linked on the channel name in brackets

I tried some Paul Newman's Ranch once, never having had ranch before. It was bloody awful!

Diplet detected.

Ranch is merely the primer for the second coating of whichever sauce you prefer.

Really good freshmixed stuff is 3x better than generic store bought.

A lot of the places use to much mayo when they mix and it ends up mayo sauce. I've heard good things about cutting down the mayo with sour cream though.

Its almost the same as the fascination the Japanese have with mayonnaise, honestly.

I guess its some kind of cultural palette thing.

Man knows his dips and nuggies.

Soon he will also know doctors and medical bills

Weird. Since when did 4chan (or any of its lookalikes) have quotation boxes?

since always I think, you just hover over the post ID link and it inlines it (only while hovering, though)

For basically any chan board when you hover over a ">>#######" it shows the post it points to.

Maybe a browser addon which embeds it directly.

I know mine does it, but it could be a feature of the 4chanX extension? I haven't used 4chan without it in years. It's not direct quotes, but you click the number to see the post inline.

Diplet detected

A scientist in his prime

"diplet detected"

People will pick anything to act superior about, huh

I mean, that's basically the entire premise of any insult on 4chan. The original days had anything be an insult simply by appending '-fag' at the end.

Some people are just better at being Superior than others

This also holds true for things like breadsticks. Dip in marinara/pizza sauce first then garlic butter for the 2nd coating.

Why do I want to try this now

Because you touch yourself at night!

I touch myself during the day because a dick in my hand is super fucking hot. Usually its not mine but if thats all I got, I gotta get it.

I feel seen.

...does that make it better for you?

Idk about ranch, but sour cream works very well with anything tomato-based, with mild-ish hot sauces, or with mustard. It's preferable to not mix the two sauces too much, so they both can be felt on the tongue.

Or, you can mix sour cream with strawberry jam and dip pancakes into it. Better yet, wrap marinated mushrooms in crepes and dip that.

I know this is gonna sound weird but big trust me on this one chief:

Cream Cheese and A1 steak sauce. Use in a ratio of like 2 or 3 to 1 part A1. Don't mix it, just drizzle on top of the cream cheese. Works best on toasted bread or crackers.

Good as an appetizer for parties and gatherings. You can also sub the steak sauce for raspberry chipotle sauce, but I find A1 is easier to get.

okay i'm gonna blow your mind. they got this stuff called labne. it's like sour cream and cream cheese fucked. it's absolutely delicious. you gotta try it

Jimmy deans breakfast sausage in a tube sautéed, drain grease well, fry hot or sweet peppers plus onions in the pan. Mix in a crock pot and put on low till its melted. Then keep it on warm.

Big dippers

Do we need to link you a suicide prevention hotline?

With eating habits like Anon, you're just asking for heart failure.

Only once

Extremely slow suicide

Socially acceptable suicide

Nah thats called living life normally. Anon's got the Fast Trak Frequent Flier Plan.

Anon is so sauce-pilled that he buries th fkavour and texture of the actual nugget. He is PUNISHING himself

This is next level science of dipping here.

This is a sauce delivery system at peak efficiency.

medium rare nuggies

Next-generation fatassery

If you think there's too much sauce, I counter with double and triple dipping, and also tongue.
