I spent so many years valiantly defending MSG and getting so much shit in return that, at the height of the pandemic, Ajinomoto sent me this amazing care package to say thank you - probably the best freebie I have ever received 🐼❤️

(I am not and never have been in the pay of Big Panda)
A huge red box from Ajinomoto with a picture of their panda mascot and the words “We Hear You Like MSG” Contents of the box with MSG stickers, a plushie AjiPanda, condiments and dispensers, an apron, and a chopsticks set. The inside of the lid has the face of AjiPanda and the words “Umami deliciousness has arrived”. Instagram post by @pitmagazineuk with a photo of my face next to two Ajinomoto panda shakers: EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!! The talented writer, author and host of @themsgpod @meemalee will guest edit our next issue themed around MSG!!! We are so excited about MiMi bringing her expertise and knowledge of the issues surrounding this incredible foodstuff to our 9th issue. There is still time to get your idea to us if you'd like to contribute - send to hello@pitmagazine.uk by the end of Sunday Tweet by Nigella Lawson 14/05/2021 I absolutely love this special MSG issue of @PitmagazineUK guest-edited by the MSG Queen herself @meemalee. And congratulations to the art director/designer and all contributors too. Truly a collector's piece. (Photo attached to the tweet is of the issue of Pit Magazine that I edited with the front cover saying THIS ISSUE CONTAINS MSG)

This morning, I spoke to an anonymous restaurateur in Yangon about #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar and dealing with the effects of both a pandemic and a military coup.

This is a @theMSGpod special - please listen and share!
