Celebrate the real Queen’s birthday today by listening to our chat with her! 👑 #NigellaLawson #CookEatRepeat
I loved chatting (and chatting and chatting) to @meemalee and @Mrsflavourtown. If you feel like a listen to our babblefest, it’s on the brilliant @theMSGpod now!
Okay, this is weird.

Love a bit of MSG. The Mothership uses Maggie Liquid Seasoning.

Pretty cool. Ajinomoto, known best for selling MSG seasoning, has redirected its work with amino acids to become a leading manufacturer of insulation for semiconductors. Stock is up 21% this year to a record high. asia.nikkei.com/Business/Mar…

Adding MSG in its pure form is adding umami just like salt is added for saltiness or sugar for sweetness, and it allows you greater versatility and efficiency in your cooking, resulting a cleaner and more natural flavour of your chosen ingredients.
The MSG Pod retweeted
The absolute easiest thing most people could do to immediately improve the taste of their cooking is start using MSG. No kidding.
It should be as basic to seasoning as salt or sugar, and that most of us don't use it based on old, debunked misinformation is quite ridiculous.

In 2020, @jeanniemai and @MrEddieHuang led the #RedefineCRS campaign. In response, Merriam Webster updated its definition of Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, clarifying the term is ‘dated’, ‘offensive’ and has no basis in fact.

In their podcast show MSG Pod, @meemalee — who guest edited the Pit MSG issue — deconstructs MSG misconceptions and explains how to use MSG in your own food, among many other food culture topics:

In that issue @cehryl wrote
“Misinformation from the West ... has forever altered the consensus of the mainstream’s perception on MSG. Racism transcends borders, and can be exported and imported just as easily, if not more easily, as an ingredient can.”

In recent years there have been various attempts to push back against the myth and to educate people about MSG.
In 2021, @PitmagazineUK published an entire issue on MSG:
