MSG Question

No answers here Nutz, but would like a follow up to see the difference it makes, my wife is one of them that are allergic to it...

start with a 1/4 teaspoon. You can always add, but cannot take away!

Nope, I was thinking tablespoon.

It is an enhancer not the main show! You may very well get up to more, but start at a 1/4 tablespoon per six ozs. Sorry for the confusion.

I worked in a restaurant once that used the stuff to flavor ground meets, and if I remember correctly it was like 1tbs per 10 pounds. This stuff is a dangerous and nasty chemical, it adds no real flavor to your rubs, but actually tricks your taste buds into thinking its something its not. It has to do with the way your tongue perceives amino acids, and makes meats taste "more like meat", whatever that means. This stuff was huge in the 60's when quality meat and spices where not available, in my opinion there is no place for the stuff in today's marketplace.
