Read that as Doritos being full of MGS...

Salt is great. Make sure you're getting your 3500mg (iirc) of sodium per day to stay healthy!

MSG is bad man, really bad, a bloke in the pub told me it was so it must be true

Just had a bag of crinkles, I would have thought it would contain more than 7% Salt of GDA. not that bad, but I am going to start making my own crisps. Worcester sauce is still lush though.

Pretzels at Disney have masses of salt on them. Inedible without removing the salt.

Tyrells crisps have a shed load of salt, but they are awesome.

How often do people call you Pepper?

Not that often, considering.

Usually people just call me Ryan, Salty, or indeed just Salt

More salt tastes nicer to most people.

How many people like the taste of seawater though? Because that's what some crisps are approaching.

Doesn't matter either way.

What gets me is why do people have to put salt onto their roast meals? I'm on about homemade roasts and those you get at the carvery.

I generally don't put salt onto my plate unless it's a boiled egg or fried egg.

but it's not sea water is it?

It tastes nothing like salt water, let alone all the other **** in the sea.

Salt and Vinegar Discos use the salt heavily as a preservative.

That's why I love them

I bought a box of SAXA cooking salt 500g, looked on the ingrediants, it was almost all salt and anti caking agents. Couldnt beleive it.

It's ready salted, there's no flavouring other than salt. So I find it tastes quite similar to salt water.

As for crisps tasting worse and worse, crisps used to have far more fat in them than they do now. about 30g of aminal fat I think. non of this low-whatever sunflower whatever-it-is.
