"The MSG debate"

The MSG debate
Restaurant owner Louis Cheng prefers using chicken broth instead of
monosodium glutamate (MSG) to flavor the Asian cuisine he serves at
Pacific Rim Coast in Sterling.

A nonsequitur. The usual practice is to use both.

Actually not quite true. And WardNA isn't quite correct.

A Chinese chef once told me that MSG is a cop-out to compensate for
lack of decent effort in preparing good-tasting food. There are
other ways to enhance the flavor of a dish without resorting to MSG.

There IS something you can substitute, but it's not exactly chicken
broth.

The MSG substitute is made by boiling chicken bones until they
disappear; i.e. they are completely dissolved. The resulting
broth has flavor-enhancing effects similar to MSG, but without the
unpleasant medical side effects of MSG.

Or so I was told. I can't deny that this guy's cooking was among
the best I've tasted.

What do you boil the bones in to get them to dissolve? Acid?

Yep, that's it - the one I mentioned was made IIRC back in the early
30's...I saw _House of Wax_ with 3-D glasses in the early 70's and was
really stunned by what Vincent Price did with a yo - yo...lol.

Yeah, the original was the 1933 film _Mystery Of The Wax Museum_. The
Vinacent Price remake was in 1953. I wish I could see it again in 3D.
The yo-yo scene, the barker's paddle-ball scene, and the can-can scene
were all standouts.

Yes. Why? Do you see something inconsistent? The fact that
"chicken broth" and "broth made from chicken bones boiled until
completely dissolved" are two different things, should not have been
lost on anyone.

Water of course. Or even more chicken broth. Why would you ask?

Try not to project your own failings on others. It makes you look
stupid.

Anyone might well ask. Chicken bones do not dissolve in boiling water.

Well they will, but it would take years, many, many years.. eons in fact...
just look at all the layers of ancient skeletons composing the sea floor.
Calcified matter just doesn't dissolve all that easily.

Try it yourself some time.

Perhaps "dissolve" is the wrong word. "Decompose" may be more
appropriate.

Just how long do you have to let these bones cook before they "dissolve"? I've
left chicken bones cooking all day long in a pot for stock or soup and at the
end of the day the bones are still there. They're clean as a whistle, but
they're still there.
