KIFPFiveMilesOut Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: July 2007 Posted: July 27 2008, 20:54 It's not one word, but..monosodium glutamate... Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid. It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavour enhancer. It has the HS code 29224220 and the E number E621. Trade names of monosodium glutamate include Ajinomoto, Vetsin, and Accent. Although traditional Asian cuisine uses flavour-enhancing ingredients which contain high concentrations of MSG, it was not isolated until 1907. MSG was subsequently patented by the Japanese Ajinomoto Corporation in 1909. In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder; when dissolved in water (or saliva) it rapidly dissociates into sodium cations and glutamate anions (glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid). I just love saying it!  And...I love chinese food!  MSG has gotten a bad rap!

Certainly it's one of the most awkward words to pronounce. Is that when a baby tries to say "christmas"?   -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: July 29 2008, 03:35 How about "Branson". There's an interesting word. I brought that word up once before and it seemed to evoke quite an emotional response from some of you. Saw on the news today he's gonna take 5 people to "inner space", not even outer space. Just enough to be weightless for 5 minutes. Wonder who these 5 people are and how much they are paying. Every time I hear about him and the word "Virgin", I hear Tubular Bells(1). They call him Sir now. Why? What did RB do? Is England a utopia now because of him? Just curious.
