    I’m not American … but I carry an emergency ration of Aromat at all times when ever I leave Switzerland.

      We have those in Belgium too! I always thought it was just MSG and bouillon combined.

      That’s the most Swiss german thing ever. MSG galore.

      Aromat is just MSG (mono-sodium-glutamate). If you need this stuff to “spice up” food, I feel sorry for you.

        I’m confused. You feel sorry for me because I enjoy a seasoning?

        And no I don’t need it, I just prefer having it. Do you only eat plain food without any seasoning or spices?

          I eat it with herbs and spices. Just dunking it in SMG is horrible.

        If you need to put others down for no reason to feel good, I feel sorry for you

          Wrong. I can cook. I know about MSG and the damage it does.

            Honestly you kinda just sound racist.

            Like any other seasoning, MSG has its uses. I wouldn’t stock a spice cabinet without it.

            What damage does it do?

              They’re probably referencing this, but unironically.

              MSG is found in all sorts of foods, from soy sauce to some nice aged cheeses. And the glutamic acid (which this is a salt of) is a non-essential amino-acid (meaning the human body makes it itself).
