This is a shaker of fat, salt, sugar and yeast.
Every tasty food worldwide has many of these ingredients. And every time someone improves on any of those foods they add an ingredient from the combination above.
Many humans don't want to admit this is true even though the later addition of these ingredients makes the dish more popular. The fat comes from a combination of milkfat and vegetable fat and the sugar is the ever popular sucrose.
The Ultimate Additive comes in two forms, with or without MSG, because as much as humans say they hate MSG the most, they are more likely to love food with this added as well.-- sartep, Nov 06 2003 So that's what they shake on those fries Maccy D's-- megauk, Nov 06 2003 Ah, but condiments in shakers are usually applied before eating, whereas your mixture is usually applied before cooking.-- DrCurry, Nov 06 2003 No, this can be applied either way. Try it on fries and see.-- sartep, Nov 07 2003 Could I take this intravenously and cut out those annoying vegetables altogether?-- Fishrat, Nov 07 2003 But you admit it tasted good, human? :)
BTW you can find MSG as meat tenderizer.
Oh for Pete's sake, Fishrat. Eat your damn vegetables. :)-- sartep, Nov 07 2003 Stir in a table-spoon of Marmite - now you're cookin'! (+)-- dobtabulous, Nov 07 2003 Label this one "Heart Attack Accelerator"-- Letsbuildafort, Nov 07 2003 //This is a shaker of fat, salt, sugar and yeast.//
<dry heave> Sorry, [sarty], no go. </dh>-- k_sra, Nov 07 2003 MSG is my favorite flavor.-- Worldgineer, Nov 07 2003 I wish I could give this more than one '+' ... I have to agree with Worldgineer, MSG is my favorite flavor, too..-- namuh, Nov 07 2003 dobtabulous, marmite is basically yeast and salt. On the back of the package it says, 'try with cheese.' I say add MSG.-- sartep, Nov 07 2003 I have a t shirt bearing the legend 'monosodium glutamate'. Such is my appreciation.-- Mistress Bling, Nov 07 2003 Is this Atkins friendly?-- ben_krak, Jun 07 2004 Sucralose does not taste better than sucrose!-- Spacecoyote, May 08 2007 [Treon], we don't "feel the surface of salt grains". We taste the dissolved salt. Read some of the annotations to your "fake salt" idea.
[sartep], this idea makes me nauseous. [+]-- Freefall, May 08 2007 I thought this was going to be about Ultimate Frisbee.-- nomocrow, May 08 2007 random, halfbakery
