Does anyone else use this on stuff? Its amazing on airpopped popcorn with olive oil.

I haven't bought any in a long time, as MSG from the asian market is much cheaper. Somehow I found another old container in the spice cabinet so I'm using "Accent" again.

Just an anecdote and some facts about MSG: I have read the abstracts from actual clinical studies about its consumption. In short, a subset of the population is sensitive to MSG and can indeed get nausea/headache symptoms, but only in extreme doses of several thousand milligrams.

I knew this but doubted I was even sensitive to it. Then I was using a bunch one night at home while experimenting with a cracker recipe for a class called food product development. The idea was a bacon flavored cracker, so I wanted to use some MSG to give it that meaty umami flavor.

Well I don't know if it was the red food dye, MSG, cocounut oil, sugar, BAC-OS imitation bacon bits, or a combination of these, but I vomited violently for several hours. I think I actually must have had too much MSG, so please consider being conservative unless you know how much you can handle.

I put a bit in anything I want umami in.

"What the fuck is Accent?"
>The legend in the back of the book explains that it's MSG
"lol, what the fuck 1950's, get it together. They probably don't even still make this stuff!"
>Next day at the grocery store intended for Mexicans and Blacks, across the street from a White establishment
>Accent is just, like, right fucking there

Needless to say, I bought some.

No, anon, it's the sensation of flavours, you know when you eat a small lump of parmesan and you tense your whole mouth around it because the sensation is so great?
It's like when I lock my lips around my boyfriend's head and taste the salty cum pump out, it's a sensation of savoury delight.

OP was talking about adding it to fresh popcorn. Are you saying you wouldn't put salt on popcorn? MSG is a common replacement.

Most tasty foods have natural levels of glutemate i them. There is nothing wrong with adding msg to stuff if you have it handy.

It's just another poorly understood ingredient unfairly stigmatized by hypochondriac housewives and their talkies.
