I’ve seen it compared to salt, but that’s about it.

Yeah, that’s about it. Obviously what it brings is different but yeah I’d say the amounts you use are comparable.

Uncle Roger perhaps overdoes it a bit. I used to use some sort of dries mushroom umami mix that’s found in all the shops here, but it wasn’t as good and even a little moisture near the spices in the kitchen and it would clump up. So I got a bag of msg from an asian store.

5/5 got to say.

MSG was considered like a synthetic additive for ages, but it’s completely natural. It’s a sodium salt of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid. Not that something being “natural” makes it healthy (god I hate the naturalistic fallacy), but still, just wanted to point that out.

I mean just for an “umami kick”, you could just go to the same store and pick up a bag of MSG.

We have a draw.

The first name proposed for the metal to be isolated from alum was alumium, which Davy suggested in an 1808 article on his electrochemical research, published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

But all the other elements are -iums as well, so aluminium makes more sense.
