MSG; makes almost rotten meat taste freshness

[Marc]

I've never heard of MSG. :redface:

It's generally called E621 in the UK.

It is virtually impossible to avoid unless you grill fresh meat and boil home grown veg.

It is in every thing from Vegetable oil, to marmite, to packets of crisps, even baked beans.

It is virtually harmless unless you eat it by the bucket load, I've never heard so much scare mongering in my life!
