Who said anything about safe or unsafe?

It's a 'flavour enhancer' that can taint food with its own taste.

Salt is a flavor enhancer that can taint food with its taste. Do you hat salt?

If the food tastes like just salt without much else, then obviously that's not great. How is this a difficult point to understand? It's the quantity that's the problem, not simply the presence of it.

The point being your statement is a completely useless statement. Any ingredient can taint a dish with its own taste.

Too much salt is unpleasant and can also be unhealthy, fwiw.

Oh, and my wife does hate salt, so I get used to less of it.

Yeah I like MSG and use it at home. But I don't want it to be the only thing I taste. I really couldn't taste any other seasonings except maybe a bit of pepper.

That's cool. It's also safe to eat tomato aspic, but I still find that eating too much of it is undesirable.

But does MSG taste good?

MSG is naturally occurring in things like seaweed, tomatoes, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese.

It tastes fine given the popularity of those food items.

I quite like the taste, it has a mild but distinctive flavor but it's much better in the background and it can be overpowering if it's the main flavor, which was my complaint with KFC. Kinda similar to salt, a bit of salt makes everything else taste better but too much overwhelms.

MSG is neither terribly dangerous nor perfectly fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-POAKKH5IM

An interesting commentary on both of the above questions.

The issue in the context is MSG tastes like what “mono-sodium glutamate” would taste like.

The video about both about what MSG tastes like, and it's safety... hence I posted the link.
