Over 50 and Feeling the Frustration

Just like I said.

Food has a bad taste (flavour)

Add "flavour enhancer"

Now the food has an "enhanced flavour", ie no longer a bad flavour.

 

Actually, I would have thought that all the garlic and chili would be enough to mask the original bad flavour, in fact kill all meat flavour completely regardless whether the meat was good or bad, but it seems that does not really work and GSM is needed to do the job. Or perhaps the addition of GMS is just overkill. I really do not know, and I suspect that the cooks using GSM also do not know, but the recipe writers who say "GMS (as desired)" probably know but they can't write: "good meat, add no GSM; bad meat, add GSM as desired until the flavour is good"

 

มันเรียกว่า MSG

ไม่ใช่เรียก GSM

ก็โอเคแต่ไม่ชอบมาก

Thanks. I wrote that wrong. I did mean MSG, Monosodium Glutamate. Vile stuff when added to food in excessive quantity and unnecessary. Thai cuisine has so many herbs that can be used to add flavour.
