fascinating and highly informative article about umami, the “fifth taste,” and the origins of our beloved flavour enhancer. we learn that it was a chinese doctor named Ho Man Kwok who started all the paranoid furor over harmful side effects in MSG while “eating NORTHERN CHINESE FOOD.”

so basically this all started cuz a southern canto-dude had it out for ngoy gok chan or non-cantonese chinese cooking!!!
