What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?

Yeah, using too much is going to make your food taste gross, just like adding too much salt would too. I also think it might not be suitable for every dish, so I think there's some experimentation required. For me, I like to add it to things that have a lot of tomato in them (like a sauce) or when I feel like there's something "missing". I find it rounds out the taste.

Maybe while you're cooking, taste your food before and then immediately after adding some msg, taste it again. It won't be like a huge, in your face difference - it's pretty subtle imo. Then again everyone's tastes and taste buds are different and it might just actually not be for you!

Yeah it just adds umami. Some dishes don’t want umami added. Whiskey really doesn’t from personal experience. Alcohol and curiosity are a dangerous combination

Wait, you added it to whiskey?? That sounds disgusting but also I love that you tried it lmfao

It was not quite disgusting but very not good. Adhd probably played a role in this decision lol

Mmm yes, I can relate. I have also eaten weird shit because my brain had weird ideas.
