I suggest you read about monosodium glutamate.

‘Monosodium glutamate is a sodium salt derivative of a natural amino acid called glutamate. Glutamate itself is extremely common — practically every plant and animal species contains levels of glutamate. Bacteria which consume glutamate excrete glutamic acid. Commercial production of monosodium glutamate requires large vats of harmless bacteria to convert glutamate from sugars or starches into glutamic acid. This acid is then allowed to evaporate, and the remaining brownish white or white crystals are sold as pure monosodium glutamate.

Monosodium glutamate is almost completely tasteless by itself. What it does is enhance the flavors of certain savory or meaty foods by awakening special taste buds on the tongue. It is thought that a fifth taste sense called umami is responsible for the pleasant flavor of a steak or vegetables in a savory sauce. Critics of MSG suggest that properly seasoned meats and vegetables shouldn’t need such flavor enhancement, but monosodium glutamate does seem to bring out more of the food’s natural essences.’

yea msg, what does this have to do w/ it?
