Peanuts are not admitted here unless coated with wasabi. Thickly coated. I really like asian supermarkets.
Personally I am hooked on cashews.
I am almost hoping you got the safeway brand, I am pretty sure Mr. Peanut salted peanuts (at least the dry roasted ones) are made with MSG. :(
You can tell Mister Peanut brand are the best because you can almost taste the tears of the little children who pick them.
jk
I think “Salted with the tears of child labor” makes for an excellent T-Shirt. Almost too easy.
Mister Peanut dry roasted peanuts also have gelatin in/on them for some reason!
I love the irratated look on Mr.Chen’s face in panel 3.
& the protective way he’s holding the bags! Very Funny!!
Bring back the Mr. Chen t-shirt!! I missed my chance when I first started reading DD! I’d buy one in a heartbeat now!
NPR assures me that the MSG panic was a couple of allergic people plus racism. As I understand it.
i agree, i believe it to be a case of mass hysteria.
believe everything you hear, MSG is the devil. Once, I ate MSG and it turned me gay. Now I have the gay disease and god doesnt love me.
True story.
I have an MSG cookbook published by the Ajinomoto seasonings brand and brought back from Japan by a relative in the 1960s. It looks so sparkly white and pure in the pictures.
Well, sure – just like table salt.
We went to an Asian (largely Filipino, but the consumer base being what it is the food is more pan-Asian than the clientele) supermarket the other day, and in addition to some of the best damn steak we’ve ever found, they sold big bags of MSG. The best part? It was made of corn.
I’ve been meaning to get it – savory is my favorite flavor – but we’ve yet to go back to the Seafood Market. Cooking with MSG is evidently almost like powdered mushrooms or the salty, rich, delicious kind of beef boullion that has been outmoded since the 80s – only just that flavor, in isolation, without any other nutritional qualities.
Mmm, savory.
my favorite simpson’s cooking moment is when Marge is making a meal and says “a sprinkle of pepper, a rosemary leave now for my secret ingredient: a touch of MSG”
My favorite Simpsons cooking moment is Marge’s “Ooh, I’ve always wanted to use rosemary in something!”.
i prefer homer’s buttering of bacon, then baconing of sausage.
That sounds like it should be part of the universal pattern. Like a season; Winter, Spring, Summer, Baconing, Fall.
Or, a cultural rite of passage, “It was finally her baconing, a day for which many relatives and friends had helped prepare her.”
Woo my comic.
I really love salted peanuts. And avocados. A lot.
