It seems strange that there wouldn't be an English word to describe what MSG tastes like.
In general, I think MSG simply tastes salty, even though I understand and agree that it doesn't precisely taste like a salt.
MSG doesn't have a flavor unfamiliar to western cuisine. Chicken soup has flavors that fall within the realm of MSG (even without the MSG found in canned soups). Gravies too.
