what's the consensus on msg? is it a chemical or is it a legitimate ingredient?
>>22158355If you need a machine to make it, it gives you cancer.
It's okay if you don't use a lot. But I'd rather just buy super cheap long ingredient soy sauce that contains it.
everything's a chemical
water is a chemical
>>22158375YOU are a cancer
>>22158355MSG is the flavour of the gods. It makes literally everything better.
>>22158355*sprinkles in some Make Super Gay*explains some things

>>22158355This is the second /ck/ meme i fall for.The first one was a winner so i hope this one will be too. if you guys manage to keep this thing alive for a day or so i might be able to post results
>>22158355>is it a chemical or is it a legitimate ingredient?yes.everything's chemical you fucking idiot.
>>22158375you dont need a machine to make msg. it's a product of fermentation.
>>22158506MSG isn't a /ck/ meme though. 'vark sauce is a /ck/ meme that tricked people into buying a horrible product.
>Is it a chemicalOh my god man...can you stop listening to celebrities or influencers or whoever the fuck keeps using this word wrong?
>>22158506did u know u can make ur own threads? u dont have to hijack someone else's thred 2 post ur shitty blog
>>22158355i add it to my fried chicken but nothing else really. maybe if i made chinese food i'd add it
>>22158355It's absolutely necessary for fried rice. I add it to soup, stews, steaks, just about everything. Fantastic stuff.
>>22158355that shit on pizza is probably the best thing on this planet
>>22158754>post and discuss msg in the msg thread>OR post a duplicate thread going "i tried MSG, it was good/bad" which will die at 0 replies while kicking another thread off the board for no reason while also starving this thread of possible meaningful conversation
>>22159388>for no reasonany reason to kick a page 10 thread off the board is a good reason. those bitches sit there for days. if they wanted to bump it they would.

>>22159388Takes almost 2 days of no replies to fall off the board.Take a good look at these sitting down near purgatory, multiple shill threads and some poor attempts at ragebaiting.
>>22158578foods can be turned into chemicals in a lab, but normal fresh food is not a chemical
>>22158745scientists don't get to redefine words that existed for millennia before them decided everything was a chemical in /r/science
>>22158355>>22158506msg is naturally occuring in tomatoes/broccoli/corn/green peas/mushrooms/soy sauce/parmesan/cheddar/roquefort/anchovies/mackerel/egg yolk/walnuts/potatoes/miso/oyster sauce/fish sauce
jews made a psyop against MSG to deprive westerners of glutamate causing depression
>>22158578An apple is not a chemical
>>22159336>probablyfake /ck/ user
>>22158506i've tried it, only raw atm because it was delivered after lunch.first impression, taste-wise, is that it's barely any different from a bouillon cube but less salty.makes sense, given the ingredients, but i'll have to try with a proper meal>>22159563thanks chatgpt
>>22158355i use it with salt when i make onigiri and they taste better that way
>>22158355Pure chemical. And not like salt. It's one note of flavor distilled into pure chemical form. It's like using capacasin extract vs peppers in a sauce. Tastelets can't tell though.
It was a guy from a college that wrote a paper saying msg might have caused some lady's allergy. It was total bullshit. Ruined that jap's reputation and business. It was all made up.bullshit. a bad story can fuck you up.
>>22162021Where did you hear that nonsense? This is the real story.>In 1968, the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter from Chinese American doctor Robert Ho Man Kwok entitled “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” in 1968. Kwok’s letter described a syndrome which produced “a numbness at the back of the neck, gradually radiating to both arms and the back, general weakness and palpitations” (796). While Kwok’s letter is not definitive about MSG’s causal role in producing these symptoms, he does isolate this experience to dining at Chinese restaurants and coins the term “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” (CRS). The following month after Kwok’s letter was published, The New England Journal of Medicine published eleven different correspondences on CRS that express relief and identify with Kwok’s experience. Few suspect MSG is the cause. Instead, they focus on the experience occurring after consuming food at Chinese restaurants (1968, 1122-1124). The first of these correspondences is from H. Schaumburg, a professor of neurology who published a study on the effects of MSG the following year. His research both legitimized CRS as a medical condition and determined MSG was the cause. Schaumburg also pointed out that MSG was widely used as a food additive which widened the scope of the issue beyond Chinese restaurants (Mosby 2009). While Schaumburg’s and other subsequent studies have since been questioned or delegitimized for their faulty methodologies, their legacy persists.
>>22162016>It's one note of flavor distilled into pure chemical form.so exactly like salt
>>22162032They never did any actual lab tests. It was in cahoots with McCormick spices. Read a book.
>>22159892An apple is a shitload of chemicals. Do you not understand what matter is?
salt exists
>>22163447yesbut there are many types of salts, and not many of them tastes like table salt doese.g. MSG (in OP's post)my favourite are arsenite salts, they have funny names, and i can recommend them to people i dislike to make them really unwell
>>22158355Pretty sure if you turn that bag around it will tell you it's made from potatoes or something.
>>22158355You'd have to hate yourself to not use it if available.
