Something that changed how you cook, a tip most people don’t know or something you discovered yourself. Or even something that you just think is cool.

A thousand times this ^. Tajin is also a handy way to add acid with a little bit of added seasoning. It’s like a bit of citric acid from dehydrated lime and chili powder.
Also, MSG has a bad rap because some midwestern white woman got a headache from it once and a local news station picked up the story. It’s not at all harmful in moderation, billions of people have it in their regular diet.
Not quite.
A controversy surrounding the safety of MSG began on 4 April 1968, when Robert Ho Man Kwok wrote a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, coining the term “Chinese restaurant syndrome”.[58][59] In his letter, Kwok suggested several possible causes before he nominated MSG for his symptoms.
Yeah, I am speaking hyperbolically on that. I presented it dismissively as a course of some of the stigma that surrounds MSG in certain… White socal circles. And how local news media loves to pick out a couple of lines from a study and present some conclusion that is wildly off base. Add in a little man on the street interview with leading questions and the bs spreads. My overall point is that it’s safe, and there’s clearly racist underpinnings to the whole thing.
Can’t have white people knowing that there’s any flavor beyond ham and potato, ya know?
