Wondering how folks here feel about monosodium glutamate.
Of course many foods contain natural glutamates and there are other types of added glutamates in prepared foods, such as yeast extract and soy protein, but what about plain old MSG?
Do you have adverse reactions to it? Avoid it because it seems unhealthy? Or maybe you're a closet MSG fan like me? I've always liked using it for some dishes, though I'll usually refrain when cooking for people outside our household. People can get pretty testy about it, even if they have no qualms against eating fast food or prepared foods.
