Olives. A greek salad with some big ol’ kalamata olives sounds really good right now.
I’ve slowly become obsessed with olives.
Brussels sprouts.
No one in the 80s-90s knew how to cook them and always overcooked them. Now they’re made roasted and absolutely delicious.
No wait! I read something about this! Those were totally different brussel sprouts! I guess they came up with a new species that didn’t such so bad and that’s why brussel sprouts suddenly got tolerable.
Now I have to go see how much of this is true.

Ranch.
What actually is “ranch”? I mean, what is the flavour? It’s not a thing in the UK.
It’s more than just a flavor, it’s a way of life. 😉 You can put on salad, French fries, pizza (!!!). Doritos and Corn Nuts come in a ranch. It is a popular meme and Halloween costume. And so much more!
