If you over salt it gets more salty. Over vinegar more sour. Over chilli too hot. Nothing similar happens with MSG. It is almost tasteless in itself.
I've been playing with it for a couple years and there is a "too much" taste I'd describe it as a physically very sharp salt. It almost makes me want to say "ouch", but it doesn't actually hurt. Don't know how else to verbalize it, but it is unpleasant.
The flavored version in goya's Saizon seasoning packet is one of the tastiest ways to ease into msg (my gateway for msg anyway)
There is a correlation amongst my friends with various dietary challenges, especially those who have problems with nightshades: they don't fare well with MSG (panic attacks, sobbing, etc). Nightshades seem to be high in glutamates naturally, and symptoms are similar, so there could be a connection 🤷♂️
