since the great soy sauce wars are in full kung fu mode
here i thought i would write up what we bought the other
day to try out.

some years before i had picked up another bottle of
mushroom soy sauce to try it out as i know Mom loves
mushrooms. while it is always a risk that she won't try
anything new, she actually did use it and liked it for
cooking. a few weeks ago we ran out and she kept
reminding me that we needed to get some more.

this time i picked up a bottle of Healthy Boy Brand
Mushroom Soy Sauce - Made in Tailand.

i just tasted it and it's pretty good. not as dark
as the kind we had before but to me i don't care about
the color as much as the taste.


the ingredient list states:

"Naturally fermented from select soybeans and mushroom
in the modern process."

Ingredients :
Water, Defatted Soybean, Wheat, Salt, Sugar, Mushroom
extract,

Flavor enhancers : Monosodium glutamate, Disodium-5
Inosinate, Disodium 5 Guanylate,

Preservative : Sodium Benzolate

Natural Color : Caramel, Artificial Mushroom Flavor

what a mess of a label, but anyways, i'm not all that
keen on MSG but i'm sure i won't notice it in the
quantities we use this stuff. since we normally don't
add salt to much of what we cook i would notice MSG
and soy sauce added to about anything unless it was
used very sparingly.

as a sippin' sauce it was good. haha, not sure i
would want it on the rocks.
