I probably have some in the cupboard but I don't go out of the way to
use it. I never did buy into the "toxic" bunk nor did MSG ever give me
headaches or any other sort of adverse reactions.

toxic stories and have never once had a problem with MSG.

I add MSG to most everything, allows me to cut way back on salt.

Is that what the video is about, milking those same old
unsubstantiated theories that have been scientifically disproven?

That's why I didn't click the link.

You can amp up the umami greatly by mixing 1 part disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate with 30 parts MSG.

I know one person who gets headaches from it. But I think most people don't
have a problem with it.

The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome has long ago been proven to be
attributable to Chinese cooks using excess salt... most don't use any
MSG because it costs more than salt. When some people eat an entire
bag of potato chips they experience the same maladies atributed to
Chinese Restaurant Syndrome... maybe why they now have no added salt
potato chips... I recently bought a bag by mistake, they are awful,
the critters got them.

I never thought anything about it as Chinese food never gave me
a problem ... until last week, we ordered in and both of us came
down with huge headaches. Ron wondered if this was the MSG effect
people talked about.

I'm not saying it's MSG but there was definitely a new cook on
the line, my broccoli was underdone, the food wasn't the same as
usual. I never get headaches so it was unusual.

I never used to worry about it. My co-workers and I used to go out for
Chinese food frequently and never had a problem. Then we tried a place
we had never been to before. They had a combo dinner at a price it was
hard to say know to. There was something in that food that did a number
on our guts. It was way too fast to be food poisoning. We got back to
work and there was a mad rush for the one bathroom and people begging
others to hurry before they lost it. One of the guys was sensitive to
MSG and had a bad headache.

That's horrible, I wonder what could have caused that. It's like
someone dosed your food with laxatives.

I usually don't get the combo as I order for leftovers but once
in a while, the fried rice and eggroll appeal.

It was like a delayed detonation fuse. It was two miles to our work
location that has only one toilet and there were 5 of us who got hit by
it at the same time. It was not a comfortable moment.

This was a hole in the wall just down the street from the Chinese
restaurant we usually went to. At the usual place we usually ordered a
single dish each and maybe some soup, and then take home the leftovers.
This place we tried had a combo dinner that was dirt cheap. It was tasty
enough, but the side effects were harsh. We thought it was worth
trying. I don't know why the price mattered. We were on expense accounts
so it wasn't really coming out of our pockets.

It's fairly obvious that MSG had no part in this horrible experience. That you got food poisoning in a Chinese restaurant is not surprising at all. Take it from me, you don't want to know what goes on back there in the kitchen. It's a risk we all take when eating pake kaukau.

If I was investigating this, the first thing I'd check is the rice. That's the most likely cause of the poisoning.

I discounted food poisoning because it came on much too soon. Something
in that meal loosened everyone's bowels, and it was pretty much a one
time very large, loose movement. Then we were fine.

Was anyone in your party rude to the waiter or kitchen staff before the
meal?

Funny as that thought crossed my mind too. haha
I've seen that on a movie or two where some waiter/waitress added
lots of Ex-lax to the food after being treated rudely. heheheh

I know it is anecdotal but from past experiences with effects that I
attributed to MSG, I would never use it. Furthermore, I avoid using
stock cubes that contain it, buying msg-free ones when I visit the UK.

back then but haven't seen the need since then.

I bought a small shake tube of Accent just a few weeks ago.
Haven't ever used it but I remember when I was a kid, my mom used
it. I tasted it plain back then and remembered that it tasted
good.

I tasted this time too. Nice flavor. Now I just need to figure
out what to use it on and when.

Yes, it was Adolphs. I haven't found a container of Adolph's meat
tenderizer but I have found liquid flavour enhancers such as 'Kitchen
Bouquet' and 'Colgins Liquid Smoke'.

I've never actually used either of them. Fun thing to find in my
kitchen.

I think it was the papain (papaya protienase) that made Adolph's Meat
Tenderizer so effective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromel...and_other_uses

I usta have a bottle of Kitchen Bouquet. It makes all kindsa claims
about adding veggie flavor to gravies, but we used it in cooking
school to jes to add a dark brown color to a light roux gravy, instead
of making a true 'dark roux'. I learned to make a dark roux. Kitchen
Bouquet adds virtually zero veggie flavor, IME.

As for Liquid Smoke, if there's a brand that works, fine. I've never
used it cuz the bottle my mom had in her cupboard tasted horrible.

KB adds a certain 'roundness' to the overall flavor on the middle of
my tongue. I don't think it was ever intended to add vegetable flavor
as such but there are certainly a bunch of veggies in the making of
it.

My 2 LB cannister of Accent lists Ingredients: Monosodium Glutamate,
no other ingredents. My 2 lb cannister says one serving: 1/8 tsp...
contains 60% less sodium than salt. In most dishes I add a very small
amount of MSG and no NACL. I've been working on a 1lb 10oz container
of Diamond Crystal table salt for more than 25 years and it's still
about half full, I can't remember the last time I refilled my tiny
salt shaker... about the only time I sprinkle table salt is on a baked
potato and on fried eggs... on buttered toast I sprinkle a small pinch
of kosher salt.... because i only buy unsalted butter. A box of
kosher salt lasts me several years, mostly it's used in pasta water.

we both get headaches from it at times. the
Chinese place we like to go to stopped using it a
long time ago. we always ordered saying "please
no MSG".

depends upon how much, as it is in some of the
canned soups we eat and those don't usually bother
us.
