/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Imagine your culture and cooking being so bankrupt that you need this cancerous shit to add flavor to your dishes.

As an autistic individual, my senses are already heightened and MSG just makes everything worse. I wish people would understand that it's not just a preference or a whim, it's a matter of survival for me. I need to avoid MSG at all costs or risk being overwhelmed by my own brain.

wrong

Should I add MSG to my chili? And also all future savory foods I ever make?

Tell me about MSG, why do people in the west feat it so much?

What are your thoughts on MSG? I've always heard of it, but I wouldn't be able to tell you if I've ever had it.

What is it commonly used for? What are its applications? What do you commonly use it with? Is it as bad as people make it out to be?

not that obscure worldwide but I haven't met a single american that cooks with it and most people kind of avoid it in restaurants.

*rots your brain*

or do you need a crutch?

why is this thing so scary to so many people?

>About to prepare pork for dinner and realize I ran out of MSG
>Notice they don't have any no frills plain ol MSG
>Ask the manager if they have more somewhere, or if I'm maybe just missing it on the shelf
>"Oh, Anon. We stopped selling that. It's bad for your health, so we removed them from our inventory. You should read up on it!"
>Don't feel like fucking arguing, I just want to cook
>Go back to the spices shelf, grab the overpriced "Accent" seasoning, a box of Sazon, and the no-brand "Meat tenderizer" seasoning
>Just for the fuck of it, grab a bag of Doritos as well
>Check out with literally just this
>Manager is the one ringing me up
>He doesn't even realize

What will it take for people to stop being retarded and stop making MSG into a food boogeyman? If I wasn't in such a hurry I'd just have gone to a different store, but guess I'll just settle for the marked up Accent (they're brilliant for selling their product to morons, by the way).

is this how i get the oo mommy flavor?

What's the /ck/ verdict on MSG? Now that the negative effects have largely been proven to be a meme is there any reason why I shouldn't be adding it to my meals?

MSG is based

>He doesn't cook with MSG
Why? Do you not like being able to adjust the levels of savory in your dish to exact measurements?

Is this shit some kind of placebo meme?
I bought a bottle and have been putting a bit in my foods but nothing tastes any different.

ignore filename

Just bought myself some msg, what are some good things to put it on? I added some to steak and it was pretty good.
