You say Aubergine, I say Eggplant
I've never posted a wank before. YAY me!

I bring you Eggplant Wank.

It's a recipe. For eggplant. But go to the comments!

Yes, that inoffensive vegetable brings the wankers to the table. See them argue over MSG! Sugar! Disparage Americans, Brits, and New Zealanders!

A highlight:
"It doesn't take much to bring the Nazi tree huggers out. OH!!! Don't eat MSG!! OH!!! Save a tree, but could you hold my place in the tree line whle I get an abortion!!!


FWIW, the recipe is pretty good :D

*Reads the Wikipedia article* "An unknown percentage of the population may react to MSG and develop MSG symptom complex"

MSG symptom complex? Why can't they call it a freaking allergy? Because that's exactly what it sounds like; a food allergy. My mom gets some of those symptoms eating corn.

Why must things we're suspicious of get special names for allergies to them?

IIRC, because an allergy is defined much more specifically in the medical sense than in the general sense. To continue using Wikipedia, it says something about different mechanisms and restricting the use of the term to just one of them.
