Default Do you use MSG?

I haven't tried it on fried eggs but I have used it in scrambled
eggs. Mostly I use it in certain veggie-heavy, lightly sauced stir
fries and in certain chicken dishes -- c. and dumplings, c. stew, c. a
la king.

Some people report allergic reactions to it. Over time I have
inquired of our friends and so far haven't found any who are
allergic. I did an eight-course Chinese dinner last year and one of
the guests asked about msg. It turned out I had used msg in one of
the dishes. -aem
