Ranch dressing? (not really Atkins related, sorry)

[Jeudrietr]

Sorry for being 'off-topic'. I've attempted to look this up with no luck.

I have a few friends online who live in other countries (Australia and New Zealand are two of them) and these friends have never heard of ranch dressing! I know it's VERY popular in the US so I was surprised to hear that they didn't even know what it is.

So, to get to my question, does ranch have another name in other parts of the world?

Thanks.
