People often ask me "how do I make my burgers taste like fast food?" and the answer is nearly always add MSG.
You've been convinced MSG is bad for you by racist propaganda, but you eat it all the time when you eat out and you love it, you just don't know you're eating it.
I ordered MSG bc of this post 🫡
That’s right.
I bought some MSG, but I don’t know how to use it! Is it a one-to-one replacement for table salt in cooking?
we still have cruel, evil, dogshit-stupid moral panics all the time in this country but it's important to remember that there was a time when "white people are enjoying a different culture's food" was grounds for an entire moral panic - from the angle of "we must protect white people from the food"
aka "the good salt"
OHHH well that makes sense
I get garlic seasoning mix that proudly says it’s MSG free, but don’t worry, I add my own 😂
It's easy to overdo and make everything taste like Doritos tho
I have NEVER worked in a restaurant that didn't have a giant bottle of MSG in the kitchen.
everyone's lives need more monosodium glutamate and mobile suit gundam
At McDonald's we had "grill seasoning" we put on before grilling that I'm pretty sure was just salt, pepper, and MSG.
Yes. MSG is awesome and delicious.
Well yeah, that's why it stands for Makes Stuff Good. I need to pick up some more next time I go shopping.
I remember a cooking show I saw on Netflix where the chef host was talking to people who are against MSG having a taste test, and it's like, those Doritos you're enjoying, it's always been seasoned with msg, and you've never had any adverse effects.
I struggled with fried rice for ages, then used much more oil at every step, a pinch of msg, and a bit more soy sauce than every recipe said. Most online recipes have nutrition facts, so they shy away from fats, salts, and sugars. Which is fine if you choose that, but it’s why people prefer takeout.
No I've been mad for years now hat MSG got taken out some of my favourite snacks.
Just a little pinch of it makes such a difference.
When I learned that rosemary & olive oil Triscuits (aka the most delicious cracker) were chock-full of MSG I knew the MSG haters were LIARS who didn't want us to have nice things.
I have a huge jar of it in my kitchen and sprinkle that shit on EVERYTHING
It’s not just a great flavor. It’s harder to overuse it compared to salt.
Seriously anyone that pays attention to the ingredients list of their crackers should see that there's almost always MSG in it and honestly more people need to understand what the hell glutamic acid is and how common the stuff is (e.g. tomatoes are full of it).
people don't deserve the umami they get
doritos
kennedy if anybody ever asked me how to make my home and handmade burgers taste like fast food i would lay my head in my hands and cry
MSG is SO good. We put it in practically everything.
I put MSG in damn near everything. keep a shaker of half msg half salt on my counter. Goes great on fries
MSG stands for Makes Shit Good
A whole generation is convinced Chick-fil-A is amazing food because they decided to use a pinch of MSG in their mid hate-chicken.
I LOVE UMAMI
