I bought a pack of MSG recently, I guess it's less salty and more savoury than normal salt. What are your thoughts?

I guess something more earthy and mineraly, it's more of a meaty flavour

MSG has no taste other than salty. What you describe as meaty is the taste of your own tongue enhanced by MSG.

I snapped my parakeet's neck in half the other day when I had a rage induced adult temper tantrum (I have severe anger issues)

I would go out of my way to make sure those birds became extinct just for the sheer joy of killing them

All animals are niggers. Have a kid, don’t have pets. if you're straight and are having sterile sex with your gf while rasing a "furbaby" you are for all intents and purposes GAY and might as well be fucking a MAN'S ASSHOLE.

Prove me wrong. You can't

It adds "roundness" in flavor. Put it in sauces and soups and stuff if you like.

A little bit goes a long way though I usually use just a very small pinch. Imo umami can be overdone pretty easily.

Not at all. Good tomatoes have Umami.

He is fucking right.

Anyways that cheapo msg on Amazon doesn't do much. Seriously if you get the $20 bag you'll taste the difference, it's HUGE.

what brand of MSG is 20 bucks and what's the difference?

Pretty much this. MSG isn't crazy magic. The whole MSG-bad myth that has made 40% of Americans avoid it can be traced back to a single troll letter to the editor in a journal.

I think it makes ramen tolerable, along with sesame oil, chili oil, soy sauce, and garlic salt.

Salt isn't remotely sweet. How can anything be "more savory" than it?

>> No.15273048

It’s good in homemade egg drop soup which is basically just cornstarch 1 egg and chicken broth

MSG doesn't taste salty at all.
