MSG. Do you use it?

[Mike A]

We only started using MSG in our food we cooked recently.
It was in the 80s yesterday so time for a cookout.
What I noticed about the tater salad was just how good it was, this same Potato salad I have been eating for over 50 years.

The Wife made the PS so I asked her if she added any MSG. She said yes. It's the best PS I ever made she said, with a wink.
You could be sensitive to MSG however with it in so many products to day, I would think you would know by now.

It's has perked up our dishes so much, I wonder why I never used it before.

How does your body react to MSG?

This flavor enhancer often added to foods can cause headache and other symptoms in some people.

I love MSG.

I remember back in the day when MSG was gonna kill you if it was in your food. It effects a tiny few people in reality. Sure makes your food taste better.
We use Accent.

When you use MSG you can cut back on salt.

I'm going to buy it the next time I go to the store! I'm going to die in a few years anyway. Enjoy. MAGA.

 

[SlideStopper]

If I overeat food made with it, it does upset my stomach, but it might be cause usually the foods with it are likely to be fried...and when you don't have a gallbladder, that's kind of a no-no.

I think MSG is great in sauces, and mixed stuff like Potato salad!

I love red potato salad in the Summer - might be time to bring it out.

I'm curious Mike - ever tried potato salad with bell pepper instead of pickles (if you put that in yours?). Talk about something addicting, the bell peppers fresh from the garden is a real treat, especially in the summer!

 

[Mike A]

Hell yes crunchy with sweet juice & pepper flavor.
Also fresh or pickled Jalapeños instead of pickles.

I grew up south of the equator & never did like White potatoes.
Found out why. I needed a Baked jacket potato with Butter, Salt, pepper & cheese.

 

[Blackbeard]

I've been watching spud man, but I'm like beans? are the beans like just baked beans from heinz? I've never seen those in the store, but I'm willing to try them.

Also, you know in the South, our love language starts with the basics, BUTTER being the cornerstone

 

[Mike A]

Don't know, but these BBs we made about a week ago. Made with ham & bacon. YUMMMMM!

 

[KneeDeep]

Did you smoke ham and cook the bacon first? Looks like there is some bark on there.

lol, I was just wondering the same thing. Local butcher shop has some picnics on sale, thinking about smoking a picnic for Easter, as the wife doesn't enjoy a spiral ham

 

[Mike A]

Used the Bone for Red beans & the scraps for New England baked beans some bacon & bay leaf with whole onion.

 

[Blackbeard]

Very nice - We have Nahunta pork center not too far from us, and at the NC Farmer's Market, so I love uncured stuff with no-nitrates.
Might start a new thread with my weekend cooks!

I love this response. It happens to be very true.

I'd guess many of us could say what you said. I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm certianly not getting any younger. LOL. My typing isn't getting any better either, had to go back and re do it.

I love potatoes in almost any form. Exception being elgrotten potatoes. Used to call them old rotten potatoes!

I'm putting a pork butt on the weber tomorrow - I made a bbq sauce out of apples, and pineapple along with some spicy peppers.

Also made some strawberry and jalapeno jam tonight, still cooking as I try not to add pectin etc to it due to an intolerance.
