Does MSG Actually Make Food Taste Better? (5 Recipes Tested)

Can MSG actually improve flavour in real recipes? After trying it in a previous video, I wanted to test MSG where it’s meant to shine — in five everyday dishes it’s supposedly made for. From popcorn and garlic bread to a proper smashburger, I made each recipe with & without MSG — to find out if it actually makes a difference. Watch my first MSG discovery video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pZqucHzSd0 Check out my homemade Smashburger recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe2tgQ4u2s0 Try any of the 5 recipes (popcorn, broccoli, smash burger, mashed potatoes, garlic bread) by following the full write-up on my blog: https://barrylewis.net/recipe/msg-recipe-test/ From Recipes, Hacks, Kitchen Gadget Reviews, Taste Tests and more food related fun, be sure to like, follow, and subscribe to be one of the first to see all the best content on the Barry Lewis channel & beyond: Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@mrbarrylewis?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://instagram.com/mrbarrylewis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrbarrylewis Twitter / X: https://twitter.com/mrbarrylewis TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbarrylewis Discord: https://dsc.gg/barrylewis Merch: https://barry-lewis-shop.fourthwall.com/ Newsletter: https://www.barrylewis.co/subscribe My spin-off compilation channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BarryLewisBites LinkTree (links to everything above & more!): https://linktr.ee/barrylewis Massive thanks to our Patreon supporters who help keep the channel going.
