I'm making Lamb Tagine in the slow cooker today.

And yes as well as teaspoons of ground cumin, ginger, allspice,cinnamon and turmeric it's got two teaspoons of salt and a tiny shake of MSG in it.

Absolutely no adverse reactions from using it so far coupled with a subtle improvement in flavour intensity in some things.

By no means is it going in everything but I am enjoying experimenting with it to see what is improved and what is not.

And it's a convenient salt-like ingredient in white crystalline form - unlike this paste stuff.

Right. At the Chinese supermarket I got some "super-seasoning" MSG.
I'm going to try it in a couple of dishes tonight.

I will be careful.

Bunged some MSG into my Wings seasoning flour.

Well I've been using my MSG. Shook some into some noodles last night. They were delicious.
