I was just going through some of my cookbooks looking
for interesting recipes to try. I have this small
paperback book with New Orleans recipes. Almost every
one of them calls for msg!!! I haven't seen msg
called for in recipes for ages and ages. I think the
70's were the msg era. That must be when this book
was published. I'll have to check the publication date
when I get home. I was just having this really weird
deja vu feeling while I was thumbing through the recipes.

I found the same thing in a CB of Cajun Cuisine recently. Copyright
1979. More oddly I actually saw MSG in the Spanish foods section of the
local grocery store last week. I don't think I'd ever seen it outside
of the drums of the stuff a Chinese restaurant here used to have.

It's fairly common in some Latin-American cuisines. There's a product
made by Goya called Sazon Goya, which sounds like it should be a
seasoning mixture, but it's mostly MSG.

It's fairly common for the herds of lazy latinas that don't know jack
crap about cooking, and add this crap to their foods.

Old timers like my aunt (85) wouldn't think of adding Sazon Goya
(essentialy salt and MSG.) If you use proper ingredients, proper
techniques, then the food should come out excellent.

Besides, there's nothing any more negative about consuming MSG than ordinary
table salt, MSG occurs naturally in the majority of foods, eve in breast milk.

I think you can still buy it in supermarkets in the
spice section. Seems to me I noticed it there not too
long ago. But I buy all my spices at the bulk foods
store these days at way lower prices so I haven't
looked lately at the supermarket stuff.

I bought some msg once back in the 70's because of all
the hype about it. I used it a few times but didn't notice
that it actually did anything so I just quit using it.
Never even thing of it anymore except when I see it sometimes
on a label in the ingredients.

Accent is MSG. Do they still sell that stuff? I bought some about 30 years
ago, have not looked for it in a store since and don't remember seeing on
grocery store shelves. But I have not been looking for it.

By the way, MSG is a soy bean product.

Yes, Accent is still quite available... but there are other brands of MSG that
cost much less.... Penzeys sells generic MSG at a very reasonable price. I
often prefer enhancing a dish by adding a small pinch of MSG rather than a
couple-three tablespoons of salt... especially soups and stews.

Not particularly.

monosodium glutamate; MSG
[mon-uh-SOH-dee-uhm GLOO- tuh-mayt]
Commonly known as MSG , this white crystalline powder is derived from glutamic
acid, one of the 22 amino acids. This natural amino acid is found in seaweed,
vegetables, cereal gluten and the residue of sugar beets. It was first
discovered by Japanese scientists in the 1920s. Japan, where MSG is known as
aji-no-moto , is still today's largest producer of MSG, a popular flavor
enhancer in Japanese and Chinese cooking. Even though it has no pronounced
flavor of its own, monosodium glutamate has the ability to intensify the flavor
of savory foods. Some people have reactions to MSG that cause them to suffer
from a variety of maladies including dizziness, headache, flushing and burning
sensations. MSG is found in the spice section of supermarkets either as
monosodium glutamate, MSG or under brand names such as Ac'cent . Many seasoning
mixes also contain MSG. Additionally, it's present in many processed foods such
as snack foods, frozen entrées, salad dressings and soups. Be aware that many
ingredients naturally contain MSG, but are not required by the Food and Drug
Administration to be labeled as such. These ingredients include HYDROLYZED
PLANT PROTEIN, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, KOMBU extract and natural
flavoring or seasoning.

Not true. Seasoning salt contains salt (NACL), with herbs and spices... only
if the ingredients list states it contains MSG and the vast majority of such
products in the US do not. IE., the small packets of Sazon Goya contain MSG,
but the much more popular large containers of Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
contain no MSG whatsoever, just mainly salt, and spices. None of Penzeys
seasoning salts contain MSG... onion salt, garlic salt, celery salt... etc.

Not true. I suppose it is possible that soy is used as a raw material in the
MSG synthesis process by some producers, but that's irrelevant. Soy contains
no MSG and there is certainly no connection between MSG and the supposed
health benefits of soy. I believe the original MSG came from seaweed.

I'm going to guess that MSG is found in every spice section of every
grocery store. It's not labeled MSG, but Accent. I believe its sole
ingredient is MSG.

The various spice companys will each have MSG in a container similar to their
spice/herb containers.. next time you're at your local stupidmarket look
carefully.
"Accent", in its red and white container, is generally displayed off to the
side of the spice section, and is often displayed in various other sections of
the store, just like yeast and bananas... you'll usually find an Accent display
about the meats showcase.

Yeah, that's what it was - Accent! It still exists.

Why?

You do know that MSG stands for MonoSODIUM glutamate, don't you? You're not
saving on sodium using MSG instead of table salt.

Well, he did say a small pinch instead of 2 or 3 tablespoons of salt.

Am I missing some thing or what? It has been my understanding that MSG
is a 100% derivative of soy beans. Sure it is sodium based as is soy
sauce but what is wrong with that? Why does MSG have such a bad name?
For years it has been marketed very succesfully as 'Ajinmoto' in Hawaii
and elsewhere and the Hawaii folks are some of the healthiest around.

Am I missing some thing or what? It has been my understanding that MSG
is a 100% derivative of soy beans. Sure it is sodium based as is soy

For years it has been marketed very succesfully as 'Ajinmoto' in Hawaii
and elsewhere and the Hawaii folks are some of the healthiest around.
