Yep natural flavour enhancer. It just makes stuff taste yummy, you can buy it and sprinkle it on anything, makes everything taste better.

Me no likey. If I cook a stir fry at home, I can taste every ingredient in there seperately, all giving something different. Eat the same thing from a takeaway and it's just all one taste.

I defy anyone to prefer say, a takeaway egg fried rice to my own. Or Pork Gyoza as Nic will tell you. Fresh is best!

I like bami goreng from my local chinky...I can't recreate it!

Personally, I prefer fresh cooked!

I may try that for you over the weekend. Nasi Goreng is easy peasy to do at home, I'll have to find the recipe.

correction: its actually an additive derived from the coca plant

And trace amounts...not able to have any effect!

I could be totally wrong, but I understood this was the case when it was first made, also it green and the colour it is now. That now it doesn't contain it now.

Nah, they used to use fresh coca leaves which contained trace cocaine...to actually make what you buy as a drug, it has to go through lots of processes. All they did was stop using fresh and start using a form of "used" coca leaves, processed to remove any trace.

I thank google for that and the medical journal article I found ages back when I saw this on Yahoo answers!
