i don't know. dying at age ninety or so while yelling 'you'll never take

I'm sure you can. I'm sure that cooks that use the stuff can recognize
it pretty much off the bat. If not, they shouldn't be messing with it.

You could have something there. Good theory.

Bad state to be in - hooked on Chinese teri-sauce. Sounds like they're
using THC, not MSG. :-)

that seems to be the case with many 'chinese restaurant syndrome'
sufferers. (maybe not tofu, but some other rarely-encountered foodstuff.)
but the popularization of m.s.g. dread made that self-diagnosis easy.

m.s.g. would make using less salt more palatable. all i'm saying is that
it doesn't make food taste saltier. a pretzel sprinkled with m.s.g. would,
i think, not satisfy a pretzel craving.

Thanks to the internet, the fluoridation of water as a commie plot is
still alive and kicking. However, since the disintegration of the Soviet
Union and the red menace, our government is now the main target of their
affections. :-)

complete bullshit.

´I have advocated policies to promote renewable energy and accelerate
reductions in global warming pollution for decades, including all of the
time I was in public service,¡ Mr. Gore wrote. ´As a private citizen, I
have continued to advocate the same policies. Even though the vast majority
of my business career has been in areas that do not involve renewable
energy or global warming pollution reductions, I absolutely believe in
investing in ways that are consistent with my values and beliefs. I
encourage others to invest in the same way.¡

Mr. Gore has invested a significant portion of the tens of millions of
dollars he has earned since leaving government in 2001 in a broad array of
environmentally friendly energy and technology business ventures, like
carbon trading markets, solar cells and waterless urinals.

He has also given away millions more to finance the nonprofit he founded,
the Alliance for Climate Protection, and to another group, the Climate
Project, which trains people to present the slide show that was the basis
of his documentary ´An Inconvenient Truth.¡ Royalties from his new book on
climate change, ´Our Choice,¡ printed on 100 percent recycled paper, will
go to the alliance, an aide said.

OK! So, while not making the food salty (we are used to that now) would it
give a more distinct flavour.. ie pep it up a bit?

I've had cancer - 40 years ago. Wouldn't want to go that way - and won't -

Ahh... you're a only the facts kind of guy. The FACT are that it's
unclear if MSG is a completely benign product. The FACT is that the
claims that it's a deadly poison is untrue and that some people are
afraid of it. The FACT is that it's an important part of my cooking
arsenal and that I think it's pretty tasty. Hope this helps! :-)

that's the theory (and the practice of many).

i should note i don't use it in many things - mostly asian recipes that
call for it (and those are mostly japanese). but it would certainly be
worth trying over fooling around with a potassium chloride salt
'substitute.'

i would think amazon.uk could hook you up. shipping charges might make it

any kind of asian market should have it.

Have you tried looking for it there? I did. Nothing, not under any
name I tried.

Powder" in Britain.

if you really get stuck, i'll mail you some. (i know mailing white powder
is dicey these days, but there must be a way to do it all nice and legal.)

Thanks from me too, tracy A poster in the UK group very kindly posted a
site about msg causing problems for asthmatics. It gave a list of foods
which, naturally, contained high amounts of msg. Being asthmatic I was very
interested and I can see that although I eat a lot of the foods mentioned,
none affects me. So, my quest continues

The interesting thing is that human taste is programmed over millions of
years to react in this way to foods the contain this compound. I use the
kombu-bonito powder to make miso soup. Personally, I wouldn't bother to
make soup stock the old way since the power is pretty tasty. Of course,
the main problem with the soup stock powder is a large amount of salt.
That's the breaks.
