Today I ate a delicious tuna sandwich at a cafe near my office. As I was eating it I though, mmmm this is a really good tuna sandwich. There was an interesting flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then about an hour later I had a headache and was feeling flushed and overheated. I looked in the mirror and saw that my face was beet red. Then I remembered that my boss had eaten a tuna sandwich from the same cafe last week and the exact same thing happened to her. On my way home I called Sarah and told her what happened. She told me it was a reaction to MSG. That made perfect sense. Neither my boss or myself have any food allergies. And the sandwich didn't taste off in any way. And the MSG would account for the unique taste of the sandwich.
I guess I had never eaten much MSG before. And I never will again. I feel like 50 lbs of shit in a 10lb bag. MSG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
