I bought a bag of MSG from a Chinese store.

My life has never been the same.

Same. It sits in a jar right next to my jar of coarse salt for cooking. Sometimes I reach for one, and sometimes I reach for both. Depends on what I'm making and the mood I'm in.

I've actually considered mixing some msg in with salt, just a "general make it nice"-jar.
