A&W hamburger seasoning
A&W uses a seasoning when making mama and papa burgers. It is a redish
(cayenne) colored mixture and quite salty. Would anyone know the composition of this seasoning mixture? |

Well, Duh!... if "quite salty" is the *only* taste you perceive then obviously it's mostly salt! The red colorant can be lots of things, but probably plain old cheapo paprika... were it enough cayenne to turn salt appreciably red then it would be way too hot for the vast majority. In fact if it contained even a very small quantity of cayenne (salt accentuates flavors) then you'd have certainly perceived some heat and mentioned that too rather than just the red color. But I seriously doubt that any chain fast food joint is just willy nilly seasoning with cayenne, especially considering how a major portion of the fast food customer base is young children, and children's taste perceptions are a hundred fold more acute than their parent's, which is why very few youngsters will tolerate strongly spiced foods. And that's why your average chili head is a middle aged male, their taste perceptions are about on par with their sperm count... they need hot pepper to taste food and viagra with porno flicks to get hard.

Stupidmarket delis are no different from stand alone neighborhood delis, they're not held to adhere to any corporate mandated recipes... in stupidmarkets they pretty much pull off the shelf whatever seasonings are sold in the store and they're indescriminately applied depending on the mood of whoever's turn it is that day... typically one of the popular seasoning blends. I doubt they even read the list of ingredients on the label. The thing is, if you, or anyone, have serious food alergies you probably shouldn't be eating any prepared foods other than that which you prepared yourself... what makes you think your favorite restaurant doesn't use msg. That said, most foods contain msg naturally, even breast milk. I seriously doubt you are allergic to msg... less than 1% of the world population is and only very slightly. Chinese restaurant syndrome is not about any allergy, it's from ingesting too much msg, Chinese cooks are heavy handed with seasoning and so they way over do the msg, and the salt. Folks experience exactly the same symptoms from ingesting too much table salt, or from nitrites in coldcuts... wanna experience Chinese restaurant syndrome, eat a whole pound of bacon. The thing is, unlike salt, it is not possible to know if there is too much msg merely by tasting. Food requires very little msg to receive the full effect... adding more does nothing to further enhance flavor, only overloads the eater. Use msg very sparingly, a 1/4 teaspoon, a small knife tip worth is plenty enough for a big potful of soup/stew, and when you use msg cut way back on the salt. Of course you'll need to have a flavorful dish to begin with, plenty of fresh ingredients, and herbs... all the msg and salt in the world won't enhance the flavor of pishwasser, and why would anyone want it to.

What does MSG have to do with "corn allergy"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosod...utamate#Safety MSG is very safe in the quantities that any reasonable person would use. Plus, you can use even less MSG if you also add a tiny bit of I&G. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disodium_ribonucleotides The bad thing about supermarket fried foods is not MSG or I&G, but the fact that they fry in shitty, unhealthful oils that are high in Omega 6. Sodium-wise, MSG is less than 13% sodium, and salt is over 50% sodium. Disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate are also less than 13% sodium, and you use both I&G and MSG in *far* lighter concentrations than one typically uses salt. If you think that either of those flavor enhancers aggravates your "corn allergy" you are incorrect. --Bryan |

YES, A AND W NOW USES MSG! If they DIDN'T, I would NOT HAVE REACTED on the way home!

To me the main flavor I can taste is ordinary celery salt. Anyway, there's a place you can order A&W seasoning online. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...qYW34rlugmpqfN Gary ;) |
