I have seen a lot of chefs online putting msg on the food.

@Grok do a lot of chefs use msg?

>>21446058 (OP)
yeah it's good

I've cooked with and without it and honestly didn't notice a difference. Maybe I'm retarded though

I do it sometimes because the youtubers told me
but desu I think they overdo it as virtue signaling to show they're cool with the asians and not racist or something gay like that

>>21446058 (OP)
Nah I'm afraid of develop a tolerance to it and it will ruin my palate and I'd have to put it in everything just to make it taste normal

>>21446058 (OP)
It's completely unnecessary and takes away rather than adds flavour.

>>21446058 (OP)
Never, I'm allergic

sometimes. when a dish is missing "something" that you can't quite put a finger on, it's probably MSG.

>>21446058 (OP)
Not good for health, so no.

>>21446157
boomer myth, it's perfectly fine for you

>>21446058 (OP)
>Do you use msg when cooking?
sometimes

in
>sauce for pizza after you cooked down the tomatoes
>various home made sauces / flavored oils
>any kind of broth (for ramen, hotpot, thin soups)
>in any stir fry dish once the carbs are added
>on potatoes

generally don't overdo it
it should be used like any other intensive spice

Why should I trust you? I've been dangerously misled by multiple anons of /ck/ before.

>>21446173
Retard, do you even know what MSG stands for? it's MuStard Gas

Yes, always, even with basic shit like scrambled eggs or sandwiches

>>21446193
I love mustard so it's fine

>>21446058 (OP)
There is MSG in some of my rice mixes, such as Zatarain's. It's also in the Sazon Goya bouillons. Ehh, don't need it. I use other additions in those recipes using either, anyway. I always know when I've had MSG slipped into my food. My lips are dry and might split first thing in the morning afterwards. I may have other effects which I can't pinpoint or prove.

No you aren't. If you were allergic to sodium you would be dead, it's a building block of life. If you were allergic to glutamine you'd be dead, you're FUCKING MADE OF IT MATE.

>>21446190
so do some research, it's been studied pretty extensively.

I ate at a Chinese restaurant in 1982 after using cocaine for 48 hours and got a tummy ache so it's bad for you.

>>21446073
same

>>21446058 (OP)
yes

I think of stuff like MSG and Splenda as flavor enhancers and not entirely functional on their own. MSG should be paired with a protein dense item, and Splenda tends to work with carb dense items that don't need to work with yeast. As for fats, just pick a fat that tastes good to you.
I like how they kinda amp up the flavor to 11, even before you add some spices.

>>21446058 (OP)
It makes everything taste like gas station ramen. Most overrated seasoning in existence

No I know how to salt

>>21446292
You can most definitely have allergic reactions to MSG, lol?

>>21446058 (OP)
No. MSG is Oriental poison.

>>21446058 (OP)
Seasonings already contain “the right amount of MSG,” so you don't have to buy MSG to use it.
