I'm always open to first hand advice ;-)

I have no problem with MSG, but any of the spices weren't on my radar
because I'm still working my way through the box that Carol (cshenk)
sent me.

*And* at the same place I found the biltong, I found a huge array of
Australian made spice mixes, including a Cajun which I bought and will
compare to the 'real' stuff.

'5 Roses' immediately conjures a very sweet image/taste.

I'm a Kwazulu fan :-)

No problem with me. I only had the basics when I was over there, and I
like to try lots of different stuff. It's good to get a heads up on what
is worthwhile and what isn't.

There's lots of Australian crap that I don't bother buying as well :-)
