But as a flavor enhancer, is where MSG really shines.

http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2003/103_msg.html

"Although it has no distinct taste itself, monosodium glutamate
(MSG) stimulates our taste buds and makes a variety of foods
taste better. The flavor enhancer is commonly added to Asian cuisine,
canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats.
Made by a fermentation process using starch, beet sugar, cane sugar,
or molasses, MSG is sold as a white crystal substance that
resembles salt and sugar."
