It made me feel inferior. Today I learned he's been secretly adding MSG to his gnocchi dough, like he's in a food competition, to undermine me.

I use it all the time when I cook, it enhances the flavour of many savoury dishes.

You describe it like a performance enhancing drug for food. What's so wrong with it?

I used to love it but now that I can spot it among the other flavours it feels cheap

Just give them their overcooked "spag bol" already.
