A seasoning similar to the Top Ramen packet?

Also, like salt, MSG is a flavor enhancer, making whatever other flavors are present more noticeable, in addition to its own flavor.

And lest anyone think it’s a weird foreign thing, the major restaurant with the highest levels of MSG is KFC.

And just about any canned or prepared food you get. MSG is everywhere, though not always “MSG” in name.
