So the other day, my wife and I are sitting at a local Sichuan restaurant eating our meal when the customers at the table next to us say "We need more flavor for this soup". The cook comes out with a heaping coffee cup of MSG and pours it into the pot of soup which was on the table. The customer stirs and says "thanks" and enjoys his soup.

If you like Japanese food, anything that has seaweed has natural MSG in it. My understanding is parmesean cheese is natural msg properties which is the reason why Italian food is so tasty.

I like MSG on my popcorn with real butter and sea salt.

Why are the Chinese NOT allergic to MSG? or are they immune? or are we too sensitive?
