Hi Dave,


 DD> Errrrmmmmm ... note that the MSG is optional.
 RH> And, since none is in my spice collection, I'll keep it that way.

 DD> I keep a small container of Accent(tm) in my cabinet. As I have an
 DD> uncomfortable reaction to overdoses of MSG I don't us it often or in
 DD> much quantity. But, sometimes I need something to wake up the flavours
 DD> in a dish -- and the dish is already salty enough. Odd, isn't it, that

So wouldn't something else work just as well? I don't think we've ever
bought any, no sense in breaking a perfect record. (G)

 DD> MSG (C5H8NNaO4) and salt (NaCl) are cousins. And both will affect
 DD> those who are sodium sensitive. I am not overly sensitive to sodium so

I don't appear to be either but still try to avoid too much of it. Main
exception is pretzels; can't have one without at least a bit of salt. It
perks up corn chips too; we tried the unsalted but went back to the ones
with salt as the others were too "blah" tasting.

 DD> it must be something else in the MSG that gives me the "cotton mouth",
 DD> hot flashes, dry sweats, and flushed complexion. But, a little MSG can
 DD> be a good thing.

Gee. those symptoms sound like................... (G)


 DD> As I said above - you probably wouldn't like the recipe. I knew that
 DD> you don't care for peanut butter (for whatever reasons) and thus would
 DD> not care for the recipe.

 RH> IOW, it was just to get my goat. One of our neighbors just got a goat;
 RH> Steve was tempted to ask if its name is "Curry". (G)

 DD> It was not "just to get my goat". If it were I would not have warned
 DD> that you probably wouldn't care for the recipe. I like peanut sauced
 DD> chicken (pork, too) and so do others. You are not the only one reading
 DD> this echo, you know. And the recipes I post try to relate to something
 DD> in the message, title, etc.

I know, you were "doing a Burton" so thanks for the warning. Had to work
in that bit about the goat tho, and that was a wide opening.


 DD> I know you will carp about the soap-weed in the rice recipe. So save

I won't, I like it in small quantities. Steve is the one that can't take
the taste of it.


 DD> your finger tips. If you leave it out the recipe won't taste right.
 DD> And this from a guy who used to avoid cilantro altogether but has
 DD> learned to use it where needed - sparingly.

 DD>       Title: Leg of Baby Goat, Portuguese Style
 DD>  Categories: Lamb/mutton, Pork, Rice
 DD>       Yield: 3 Servings


It does look good. Wonder if I should ask our neighbor if he wants to
name his goat "Tripod". (G)
