The Wiz Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Chicken Wings weren't invented until 1964 though so around the same time as ranch dressing. Blue Cheese still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Bleu cheese lover here, but I can honestly understand why some people would be turned off by it, even if they might enjoy the taste (especially with wings). Consider that Wikipedia describes bleu cheese in part as... ..."The distinct smell comes from both the mold and types of bacteria encouraged to grow on the cheese: for example, the bacterium Brevibacterium linens is responsible for the smell of many blue cheeses, as well as foot odor and other human body odors." I mean, if I didn't grow up on bleu cheese and was considering it today... if I read that first, it would probably be a no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm positive that if they keep digging through that fecal sample they would find remnants of chicken. I'd even go so far that if they searched the cave they'd find a Richie Lucas poster of him leaping a defender on the cave wall. That pooper was definitely the worlds first Bills fan.

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I go for the Blue Cheese but I'm torn between the choice of celery or carrot sticks as a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 IM HERE TO KILL THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL! the problem is perception. I'm a buffalo transplant to the south, and everyone here thinks blue cheese is disgusting... and THEYRE RIGHT! Blue cheese is kind of expensive to keep on hand and anywhere that isn't buffalo uses that gross packet kind. No chunks, just gross dressing. It's an abomination! Unfortunately I've had to become a ranch guy since I moved. I long for my next buffalo visit, and to be reunited with my long lost culinary tantalization that is, REAL blue cheese 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) What are you talking about? There was never a legitimate debate. Ever. Blue Cheese has always dominated. Like the previous poster said, it's got to be a good dressing. Don't expect to go into the grocery store and pickup something like Wishbone brand and expect it to be good. Gotta get the good stuff. Me personally, I make my own dressing/ Edited October 14, 2021 by Rockinon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 A decent wing needs neither blue cheese, nor ranch. It's like putting A-1 Sauce on a ribeye. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
