I like Sam Adams lager, you just have weird taste buds, my friend.

The guy in the video gets painfully annoying, but this is about GLUTAMATES!

The fifth taste category is provided by glutamate like mushrooms. It is like a volume control on the other taste receptors, so we don't have a unique taste bud for it like sweet, but it definately adds "flavor". It's really funny what a bad reputation MSG got (some people are allergic).. When MSG is essentially adding in this 'extra' flavor to food.

What is funny is that if you think of most of the table sauces, ketchup, soy sauce, etc. they are mostly just glutamates or else concerntrated spices (mustard, hot sauce)

Obligatory call out, if you registered just to vote here, perhaps you should check out the rest of the site. This is merely video 79 of almost 1,000. Surely we have other vittles to tempt your taste buds.
