What about the MSG, you gotta put that in…
No need to scold, Rachel. It’s my hobby and I can print whatever I want.

In short, you do get a guaranteed amount of “no known risk” for your money, which does put it in the exact same category as MSG.

It’s basically dried flaked:
With less salt.
But by the magic of packaging it’s amazing for you.

I appreciate the love that went into this tool. Thank you. My suggestion, lacking the style points, is to just put the bottle upside down in a mug.

It’s very difficult to become deficient in glutamate and sodium (glutamate is synthesized by your body, and sodium is in a lot of food), so you’ll rarely find them sold as nutritional supplements, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t vital for the functioning of your body. It’s a logical fallacy to assert that MSG isn’t healthy because it’s not marketed as a health supplement.

Cheap to buy at your local Asian grocery. I don’t know about the special vinegars though.
The “special vinegars” are just cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar depending on brand. I think Kewpie uses cider vinegar.
From my understanding, the Kewpie brand also uses malt vinegars. There’s a whole world of malted vinegars, though, and I don’t know which they use. And, of course, the right ratio makes all the difference.

The MSG salesperson of the year award goes to…
Good name for a band.
Why is that MSG yellow? Is it all oxidized to hell? The MSG I get from the grocery store is pure white and great on popcorn with shichimi togarashi.

I think it’s just the pic. The version with two is white.
Because it, like everything in my mom’s spice cabinet, is from 1972?

Good way to reply without addressing the substance of my post!
I guess “logical fallacy” is redundant, so it’s minimally humorous, but I wouldn’t name a band that; maybe a song, or an EP at best.
Seriously though: if you’re willing to satisfy my curiosity, could you please state why you are so adamantly anti-MSG?
I see you are a fellow of good taste and distinction despite being raised in Oscar-Meyer Scarytown. I, too, am a satisfied refugee.

If that’s a pic of your cooking, then you’re a much fancier chef than I. I might have to try this recipe out, although looking at it I already want to add a touch of miso. When I’m making aioli for fried food, it’s always gochujang, rice vinegar, dried salt lime, miso, and Kewpie mayo.
