Probably tomatoes or mushrooms for me as far as food items. For sauces I would say soy, fish, and worcestershire .
Parmesan. Always Parmesan. On salads. On bakes. On veg. On potatoes.
Oh I love me some parmesan. I used to work with a guy who would just bring a block to work and break off little bits to snack on all day.
Miso, Marmite, MSG, and Maggi are all good.
Not all at once, though.
I have still yet to try Marmite. I really want to but I expect I’ll not like it.
Yes, it is a famously polarizing taste, but a small amount in something hefty like a ragout adds umami without adding too much of the marmite flavour. I’m vegetarian, and find it’s really handy for adding meatiness to such things.
If you try it and like it, do try marmite spaghetti.
Oh interesting. I’ve never seen it here in the US, but maybe i can find it online. Good shout!
I’m less familiar with Marmite but believe it’s like Vegemite, which I am VERY familiar with and love. If you don’t like the taste by itself, try it as a salty additive to meat pies. Not enough to make them taste like Vegemite but just a nice heavy flavour that fills out the taste. It’s great.

It’s not quite as universally fitting as mushrooms, but I love using dried tomatoes whenever it suits (for example, chopped up in rice dishes)
Oh yeah I can eat tomatoes almost any way. I eat them like apples just whole a lot of times.
Knorr Liquid Seasoning. You can put it on almost anything, but it’s best with fried food. Hell, you can even put it on rice and it works. Ponzu is also great and I love using it on fish because of the citrus flavor.
I love ponzu. Especially on sushi rolls. I’ve seen the Knorr seasoning. Will have to try it. Thanks!
Fish sauce. Soy sauce. Worcestershire sauce.
There’s a fond made from mushrooms! The taste is very deep and rich and bursting with umami. You can probably find it in most bigger grocery stores.
Ooh that sounds good. I’ll look for it. Thanks!
MSG. It’s magic
haiyaaaa
That’s the wrong one. It should be “fuiyoh”because he loves MSG.
Oh damn your right! Leaving it for shame lol
BACON! 🤤
mushroom and soy sauce (tamari)
My go to are Knorr bouillon cubes. Just a good way to add flavor into just about anything.
