Is Chicken Salt Australia's MSG? (aussie.zone)

Australians love Chicken Salt, other countries i assume have some other crap they call seasoning.

A notable one is MSG, so if an non-australian were to ask 'whats the deal with chicken salt?' Would a reference to MSG be a useful guide?

MSG isn't "some other crap", just like table salt isn't some other crap. They're base ingredients, not seasoning mixes like chicken salt. In fact, monosodium glutamate and sodium chloride are already naturally found in plenty of grown foods.

Here's the wiki page that lists some similar seasoned salts overseas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoned_salt And like Naeva said, some (apparently even the original chicken salt recipe) already contain MSG.
