I never read a label “euphemistically”, ever again.

:D

That is normal for most people. I do believe MSG works on your taste buds. I could be wrong. Threw it out many, many moons ago.

Remember the product “Accent”? Same thing.

How true!

I only have one grand, but it was the same with him, when he was little.

But precious little “right” about ‘em, either.

I assume you mean light treacle?

I love the way a tin depicts the legend:

The tin bears a picture of the rotting carcass of a lion with a swarm of bees and the slogan "Out of the strong came forth sweetness".

MSG “amplifies” flavors *in your brain receptors*.

I’ve heard it referred to as cocaine for your chow.

I cannot abide the stuff.

I get migraines for no good reason so I’d never push my luck.

I can’t eat Chinese; even if I walk past a take-out, the aroma sets me off.

Even if they *say* their menu picks do *NOT* contain any MSG, I still get the headache. >;)

I didn’t know what it was, once, then my kiddo wanted some, when we had Chinese food. I wouldn’t go near it with a barge pole! It’s so kind of VERY hot, hot sauce, as far as I can tell.

Even more ironic is Connecticut is more commonly known as the *Constitution* State. That’s the joke.

Reptiles are kept way in the back, near the fish.

I went to Tractor & Supply the other day to get food and a mineral block for the goats and there was a *huge* bag of mealworms for chickens on the facing shelf.

If only Camo would eat them.
They’re much cheaper than the ones I have to buy for her.
