Don't use Shake'n Bake (MSG)... use your own blend of spices
« on: January 24, 2007, 07:48:07 PM »
I was reading a recipe on Yahoo which started out with boneless, skinless chicken breast
and SHAKE 'N BAKE Original Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix... then I stopped.   :o  Excuse Me!?! 

Then I wrote this review:
Quote
I find this recipe revolting because I'm allergic to Monosodium Glutamate and through research I have found many ready-mixed spice packets, like Shake-n-Bake, contain this harmful ingredient.  When I've ate foods with MSG in the past, I have been sick for up to 3 days.  Once I had an episode so bad I should have gone to the hospital, and I always get a migraine.  My reactions are similar to the "one day flu", but I have found through my research the "one day flu" is actually food poisoning usually caused by an MSG reaction.  I hope more people in the world, or at least the United States, would realize and understand the dangers of MSG and STOP EATING IT!!!  Signed, Sassafras


Instead of using already prepared packets of spices containing MSG, I propose having your own spices and make your own mixture of spices.  It really isn't that hard or time consuming.  You just have to have the spices available to you.  When you purchase your spices, make sure you have the essentials.  When deciding whether to purchase the big container or the small one, consider each spice you are purchasing - Essentials, big container and Special spices, small container. 

Essential Spices
  • Pepper
  • Celery Salt
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Oregano
  • Chili Powder
  • Thyme
  • Basil
  • Bay Leaves
  • Marjoram
  • Rosemary

Special Spices
  • Tarragon
  • Chervil
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon

And now, what you've all been waiting for...

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. ~~Baha'u'llah

The chief idols in the desecrated temple of mankind are none other than the triple gods of Nationalism, Racialism and Communism, at whose altars governments and peoples, whether democratic or totalitarian, at peace or at war, of the East or of the West, Christian or Islamic, are, in various forms and in different degrees, now worshiping. ~~Shoghi Effendi, The Promised Day is Come
