Idk man, there's plenty of msg in western cooking. Meat, anchovies, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms.

This Tony's is good on just about everything.

>>19522743
boomers were ingrained with the idea that it's some weird asian spice that's bad for you so they avoided it completely. that's largely gone away in the past 20 years though

>>19522780
The label says it is Great on Everything. Why do you only think its good on just about everything?

>>19522793
Because its good on everything except maybe ice cream.

>>19522793
It's really good on fried foods and pizza.

>>19522798
So you are calling Tony Chachere a liar, yet you still trust his product?

1. asian ingredients tend to be low in glutamates compared to western food
2. chinese people are historically poor so they use really shit ingreditents (its pretty impressive how good they can make the worst shit taste. The gamiest pork and the funkiest fish taste good with their methods)

>>19522780
I debated using instacart just to get a 2lb one of them from sams club in all honest. Shits good and makes cooking super easy

>>19522755
Those are different forms of glutamates, not exactly monosodium glutamate. (i think) But they function quite similar

>>19522780
it says great not good

>>19522780
it's basically just salt

>>19522743
>almost exclusively used in asian cooking
That's pretty much the opposite of true in the US. 90% of Chinese (i.e. Chinese/Taiwanese/Singaporean restaurants need to buy a literal neon sign saying "no msg" if they want to do business. Meanwhile you can go across the street to whatever random bar and get endless ramekins of "house made" ranch to slather on your wings or fries, the second ingredient of which is msg, and nobody bats an eye.

A 2lb thing of that is pretty big, what are you buying for some aircraft carrier or a submarine?

>>19522743
There's MSG in a lot of stuff and it's probably in your favorite stuff as well.

>>19523476
>put up sign saying no msg
>surely they would not lie to you
>the chinese never lie to people
kek

Even if that was something that commonly happened (it isn't), you still completely missed the point.

>>19525414
Your point was a baseless claim against American restaurants all because I insulted your Asian heritage. It's not hard to see you got upset over that and tried to project that onto my culture.

>>19525422
You need to go back.

>>19522743
Yeah makes you think how gullible western boomers are and how adamantly they perpetuate absolute idiocy about things they don't understand

>>19522793
needs msg

>>19525437
You first, chang.

>>19522743
Here's my hot take, if they gave MSG a proper name instead using the chemical name it would be in everyone's kitchen.

>>19526161
It does have a brand name, and it did used to be in everyone's kitchen. My grandma literally kept a shaker on the dinner table next to the salt and pepper. That's not the problem at all. Fuck, there are Karen's today who are trying to claim that "seed oils" are all of a sudden bad for you. The internet has fucked everything up and made disinformation far more prevalent than it was 40 years ago.
