    ....the fifth taste.

    Any home chefs here try to incorporate it into their food prep? Naturally, without the use of MSG.

    I have tried... unsuccessfully. I'll settle for the smell of smoke on my food and bbq sauce.

    Accent Seasoning IS MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and actually does accentuate the savory flavor of umami in foods, particular protein, BUT, it's MSG.

    I've been dabbling (well actually using it all the time now instead of salt in just about everything) with fish sauce. The drippings from > year fermented heavily salted anchovies from Viet Nam. As yuck as it may sound this stuff is a fantastic seasoning, it's not 'fishy' at all. It will change a common burger into something memorable, or a chicken breast or a steak. It does superb in a shrimp or tilapia ceviche, or chicken soup, or pinto beans. I've only begun to experiment with it but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a mainstay with me now.

    (fyi, worcestershire sauce is made from anchovies fermented in vinegar, whodathunk?)
