Looks great, yum. A question I do not add more than I need to to any food that I make (bread, sausages, preserves etc). I do not use MSG. I know it is a flavour enhancer, but what does it do. Does it improve the 'product' Is it used because the flavour is not good enough, or is it used because we have developed this need for an artificial extra flavour?
Do no harm. Margerine is the biggest food crime

Mark its just what you said, a flavor enhancer. It more or less blends the flavors of a recipe together.

It does not alter the physical properties of what you are making.

Using it is optional.

Really Good Rudy. Thanks again. Waited for fresh Cukes and tomatoes from the garden to give it a try. The Gyro loaf, Tzatziki sauce, and Naan bread all came out great.
The only thing I did different was not emulsify in the food processor as I ground some Chuck through a 1/8" plate and mixed in a mixer with the dough hook.
