I asked the cook what didn't have MSG in it, and he told me that everything had msg except the salad. Many people get headaches from msg...

While there may be restaurants that take the easy route and make their mashed potatoes from instant potato flakes, Golden Corral isn't one of them. Instead, this company does the hard work of peeling, cooking, and mashing its potatoes in-house.

Golden Corral does not require a percentage tip. You are getting your own food and seating yourself. If they are good at bringing drink refills and hot rolls, a tip of one or two dollars per adult diner is sufficient. Asking for 15 or 20% was way out of line.

"Your plate awaits," the buffet declares, and encourages you to come and try new and old favorites for yourself.

Chinese food and soups contain monosodium glutamate (MSG) as the main addictive ingredient. A sensitive individual may suffer from headache, giddiness, sweating, abdominal pain, and urticaria within a few hours of consumption of MSG.

MSG boosts the flavor of foods by stimulating taste receptors and has been shown in research studies to increase the acceptance of particular flavors. Adding MSG to foods results in an umami taste, which is characterized as savory and meaty ( 4 ). This popular additive has been deemed GRAS by the FDA.

Nutritionally speaking, instant mashed potatoes offer roughly the same vitamins and minerals as the real mashed potatoes with the exception of Vitamin C. To please palates, they tend to be higher in sodium, significantly higher than the amount of salt home cooks would add when making them at home from scratch.

Lunch or an Early Dinner is Your Best Bet Hungry diners get so many of the same dishes on the lunch and dinner menu that it seems like a no-brainer to make Golden Corral a lunchtime destination if that's possible. Or call it a very early dinner.

I can't believe I ate that whole. Thing you ate it Ralph. I can't believe I ate that whole thing.

Those of us of a certain age remember the 1970s salad dressing commercial with the line, "Who made the salad?" The answer came from the homemaker: "Me. And Seven Seas." For whatever reason, the question became memorable, similar to the "Where's the beef?" line from the 1980s Wendy's commercial.

The bottom line. The idea that MSG is bad for you has been largely debunked. Although eating very high amounts might cause temporary, bothersome symptoms, these usually don't last and won't affect your long-term health. MSG adds flavor and has been used for many years in food without evidence of harm.

Today, instead of extracting and crystallizing MSG from seaweed broth, MSG is produced by the fermentation of starch, sugar beets, sugar cane or molasses. This fermentation process is similar to that used to make yogurt, vinegar and wine.

Manufactured MSG is used to enhance flavors in many savory dishes. “MSG is a man-made sodium invented by the Japanese to emulate the flavor of seaweed, which is naturally savory and rich in salt flavor,” Liu Spellman says.
