What makes your favorite food so delicious? It's likely glutamate plays a part, either in tasty food ingredients or added monosodium glutamate (#MSG). @DrKeithAyoob explains how glutamate flavors the foods we love – and why there’s no reason to avoid it. https://msgdish.com/no-reason-to-hide-is-glutamate-in-your-favorite-food/
Yeah, I’m another with no sweet tooth at all but a raging addiction to that umami goodness. The powdered stuff just doesn’t really do it for me by itself; it sings best when it’s in a choir of its natural flavor companions. The idea of a banana split actually makes me feel vaguely ill in anticipation of the insulin shock. The idea of a cheeseburger with blue cheese and a fried egg with slightly runny yolk and onions grilled in butter just makes me hungry.
