dashiryu and hwahak jomiryu.
But, if you read those English spellings you'll be saying them until you're red in the face and nobody will understand you. Print the Korean and show it to the people instead. |

Your age is showing.
Where I'm from, in my small town, there are probably more Chinese restaurants per capita than even New York City. At least there were. I ate heavily MSG-laden food until about 1988-1990 when it was ruled bad. The restaurants started advertising 'no MSG' ... But the food quality and taste was largely unchanged.
MSG is great! If you're curing meat. Anything else? Screw that noise. I'm under orders from my local Pharmacist (who monitors my health very closely - a real old-school Korean from the farm Han-yak days) to not eat anything but rice with a spoon. And not too much kimchi. It's got too much salt. He just said, "Here...you eat with chopsticks! Do not use a spoon. Too much salt!"
In other words, MSG or no MSG, you're still getting the sodium. |

What are you talking about? There's a reason is used in all kinds of fast food restaurants, snack foods, and canned stuff. Everybody likes the taste of MSG. It was some kind of stupidity scare back in the late 80s and early 90s that put people off of it. |

| I hear they use lots of MSG so they can cut back on the meat they have to put in. |

| it's not just a personal preference thing, some people--myself among them--are violently allergic to msg and get days-long migraines from it if they happen to eat a product that has it. |

Oh for reals, I wasn't trying to downplay the effects of the stuff. Sometimes it's psychosomatic, but oftimes it's just bloody not. You can't spike calcium like that without expecting some side effects in some people.
Edit Yes...you can die from that...yes. |
