Re: Why Can't Ladies Cook Without "Maggi"? by Allwility: 3:02pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
@OP I will try explaining why. First there are five basic tastes namely: 1. Sweetness 2. Sourness 3. Bitterness 4. Saltiness 5. Umami You might be familiar with the first four so I will talk more on Umami. Umami is responsible for the savory tastes in foods. The Umami receptors in the taste buds are usually stimulated by glutamates eg MSG. Your maggi and noodles seasoning contains this MSG. However tomatoes, soy sauce, veggies and mushrooms are rich in Umami but not to the extent of your seasonings. On a second thought I believe Ogiri also stimulate the Umami taste bud. Besides, you can't get the savory/ umami feel if you use salt. You will only get a more salty food. agarawu23: 8 Likes 1 Share |

When I saw the thread,your name came to mind and I said I hope he's not the one becos I'd seen weda its dis same toopic or smtn similar wen u commented. Ok quick one:I'd really like to see you cook those fried and jollof rice without a seasoning. Infact I'd like to taste it but because I dnt want tongues to wag(mak dem no say I dey upto smtn)mak I let d mata die. Dis tins are seasonings,it enhances the taste and overall outlook of the food. Yes this so called "maggi" has salt content but there are other thing used in making it that helps the taste of the food. If you had evn mentioned smtn like crayfish as a substitute or evn locust beans(those are the two that comes to mind)I for say ok. Infact I need to eat that food u use only salt cook esp dat fried rice be4 I agree wit u sir,lol! 8 Likes 1 Share |

My room mate in school cook stew with sixteen 16 Maggi.. And when u ask him why he puts a lot of Maggi he says "na stew na e need plenty Maggi" . But since d day he tasted my stew which I cooked with just two cubes he respects my cooking instincts ever since. Point! Alot of people abuse this Maggi them no say make u no use am but no abuse am it carries alot of diseases them, besides Maggi is not the secret of a nice meal. Bone that their advert. 4 Likes |

I just hope your darling salt is the only ingredient you use to prepare these self acclaimed tasty meals you speak of. Don't tell me you add anything else because I won't understand why you will need oil and not just salt to prepare your stew . 1 Like |

abeg... make una follow me ask them ooo, just the other day i caught my gf adding maggi seasoning to beans, i was like what the hell... you cooking beans with maggi, you don't need that, just add good amount of Onion and a reasonable pinch of salt but she flared up got defensive and started talking bout that's how they cook in their home...i just can't comprehend how you'd be cooking "ewa oloyin" and be adding maggi . some girls can add salt to noodles #experience 3 Likes |

I stayed off Maggi for a week and used Ginger, garlic, locust beans, onions and curry leaves in its place and I got wonderful tastes and aroma. Believe me, maggi adds nothing to cooking,All u need do is get ur salt right. 4 Likes 1 Share |

agarawu23: Maggi cubes are 80% salt like someone said. I'd rather use maggi than salt. Most times I don't even use salt at all, just maggi. And I like it that way coz to me, it's tastier. I also heard about the cancer thing... But pls what doesn't cause cancer? Even our mobile phones cause cancer so it's either you embrace technology and "good food" (which is relative that's why I put it in quote) or go to the village and live longer 3 Likes |
