Time for some vietnamese chicken noodle bowl.

Woah this has M.S.G.!!

Wish me luck!!
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Afternoon all. MSG is so bad for you, tenk but it taste sooooo good.

    EDIT: Sorry. Mean to say if you have allergies against MSG then it's not good for you.

Allo tenk-san. If you check instant noodles, they're usually loaded with MSG. You can actually buy MSG packaging from the stores. I don't use them as I think you can add flavors using other fresh ingredients like herbs etc. which is "safer" than MSG.

I don't know about the great white north, but here in the states MSG got a bad rep a few decades ago and isn't used much anymore. But if you buy your noodles in an asian market...

It's pretty lenient in Asia. A lot of manufacturers use MSG in their products... which is why I'm so leery of it whenever I buy instant noodles. It has gotten a bad rap but it's on the rise as an OK addictive. Better that than consuming beetle juice (food dye) from my yogurt.

   Is MSG safe?

 Yes. MSG is one of the most extensively researched substances in the food supply. Numerous international scientific evaluations have been undertaken over many years, involving hundreds of studies. The United States and other governments worldwide support the safety of MSG as used in foods.
