Oregon website to celebrate America’s 250th

As soccer fans around the world descend on the United States hosting the World Cup, the fans are buying up what they cannot get in back home.  For Europeans, the #1 requested food gift to bring back home is ranch dressing.   It generally does not exist in Europe except in a more milder form.  The American version is heavy on buttermilk for a richer taste and a super-tangy herbal flavor that stands out.

So many soccer fans are bringing so much ranch back home that the TSA had to issue a X post on June 18th reminding people to put liquids in their check-in baggage.

This is a humorous moment to reflect on America’s abundance ahead of the big America 250.
