A Cooking Thread?
Redball:
Not meat tenderizer, MSG, monosodium glutamate, often used in Chinese cooking. The one link I googled to reminded me that it's not in great favor in the U.S.; some are allergic to it. I recall it could cause headaches. It's considered a flavor enhancer, adding none of its own.
Omega Entity:
I'm not sure that we even use the accent - I'll have to ask Mom.
Omega Entity:
Just asked her, it's MSG. We don't always use it in there.
Mister D Nomms:
MSG is delicious and I'm really upset that so many places don't use it because people are weird about it.
doombilly:
I choose viet Fish Sauce instead of MSG. Definitely a flavor enhancer. And it doesn't make me feel icky. I'm pretty tolerant to toxins, pain meds, insect stings, land shark attacks, but MSG makes me feel not as good. It is ok in small doses, almost every prepared snack food has it.
