Cheese really needs no salt, adding MSG to cheese is redundant... and
mushrooms with cheese is TIAD. LOL Next time try serving dad the
cheese omelet with a dollop of salsa, that should eliminate the need
for salt and MSG altogether.. some good grainy mustard is good with
eggs and adds salt too. I'll have my omelet with lox.
