There's not much to ranch - you can mix up some mayo and milk and
some salt and it would be pretty close. Ranch also tastes like it
contains a heavy dose of MSG.

As in: how much can you change and still call it by its original name?

The dirty little secret is that MSG is the main flavor component of
ranch dressing. Without MSG, ranch dressing is just thinned down mayo.
Americans crave umami - they just don't realize it. Of course, you never
heard it from me.

Tomatoes are lightweights in their glutamate content. Get yourself some
soy sauce or oyster sauce if you want to up your umami game. I got some
Takesan Kishibori shoyu because it's supposed to be a great shoyu. It
tastes alright but it's more intense than da Hawaiians like. It would
probably go great with some sushi/sashimi so I'm going to have to find
me some.

Highest in umami:
1. Kombu
2. Parmesan cheese
3. Tomatoes
4. Mushrooms

So if you want lots of umami, choose between seaweed and pizza. I know
what I'm going for :)
