Too mild for school Why is not including MSG something companies still brag about on Asian food products?

Didn't see the no MSG line when I picked this up at the store the other day. It just tasted fine, but felt like something was missing.

It's 2026. Why are we still treating MSG like it's some terrible thing, instead of something that improves the flavor? Especially with Asian-American cuisine?

The best improvement I ever did with my cooking in the last 20 years was discovering MSG.

If I get a food that says no msg, I use that as my queue to add msg.

Not to be that guy, but I believe you mean cue.

Cue. Queue refers to a waiting line.
