Ok I have to say, I really appreciate the emphasis on the value of the
flavor added by MSG, which is a compound that, like sodium chloride, aka
salt, is simply a spice that makes things taste nice. It was only cruel
and rampant racism against Asian-Americans in the 40s and 50s that gave
MSG the stigma that unfortunately it has been unable to shake. (That's
why you still see on many Asian foods and ingredients in the
supermarket, an MSG free stamp, to encourage biased consumers to still
buy the products.)
