Seriously though, MSG is a debated ingredient. There's really no definitive evidence that MSG gives you headaches, nausea, etc., but many believe it causes all that and leads to obesity. Like I said, debated ingredient.
My son came back from GA. having spent time with his dad and also my current in-laws, and brought back with him a book that he chose from a pile that my in-laws were giving away.

This baby is 50 years old.
I perused the book, most of which is really simple, and slightly repetitive. Then, I saw this.

1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate.
Never have I seen a recipe book with this ingredient. It cracked us up to no end! I could just see the anti-MSG group freaking out. (MSG doesn't bother me, as far as I know. I'm not a headache-getting kind of person, unless I'm off my C8H10N4O2.)
Two weeks ago, mid-week, we took a trip to my in-laws, to meet our new niece and celebrate some birthdays. I cooked a fabulous Mexican feast too, I might add. While searching for spices, I found this.
Dated 1962.
Seriously.
I ran for my camera. My M-I-L didn' even realize it was there...or 48 years old either. The thing is older than me.
It was a FUH-NEE find.

I would love one of those Headache Inducing Hamburgers.
My favorite chicken soup recipe calls for MSG. It's yummy!
My mom had some of that for when she cooked Chinese... :-)
I must say that MSG gives me bad heartburn. There is a Chinese restaurant nearby that has in their menu "no MSG upon request". I have ate their food with and without MSG and without fail....I end up with heartburn.
