(thumbified for MSG and pimentos. ::shudder::)
But pimentos and MSG too? Bonus points!
*Curls up in small ball of terror*
I've never seen MSG as an ingredient in a recipe. I thought it was just some mysterious food stuff that Chinese restaurants swore they never used in their food.
Hope
And napalm.
Oh puhleeeeeeeaaazzzze?
The fact that someone would even suggest using a sacred meat such as lamb in this concoction is beyond my capacity for forgiveness.
I'd dig to have a pair of pants made out of that green print material though.
