MSG (mono sodium glutamate) is often referred to as seasoned salt.

Still did'nt exist in 1930's America. It was first approved has a food additive in the US in 1958.

You mentioned OriginalRecipe Chicken, which originated in the 1930's.
No single company provides the seasoning recipe

Original RecipeĀ® is Still a Secret
For years, Colonel Harland Sanders carried the secret formula for his Kentucky Fried Chicken in his head and the spice mixture in his car. Today, the recipe is locked away in a safe in Louisville, Ky. Only a handful of people know that multi-million dollar recipe (and they've signed strict confidentiality contracts).
The Colonel developed the formula back in the 1930s when he operated a roadside restaurant and motel in Corbin, Kentucky. His blend of 11 herbs and spices developed a loyal following of customers at the Sanders Court & Cafe.
"I hand-mixed the spices in those days like mixing cement," the Colonel recalled, "on a specially cleaned concrete floor on my back porch in Corbin. I used a scoop to make a tunnel in the flour and then carefully mixed in the herbs and spices."
Today, security precautions protecting the recipe would make even James Bond proud.
One company blends a formulation that represents only part of the recipe. Another spice company blends the remainder. A computer processing system is used to safeguard and standardize the blending of the products, but neither company has the complete recipe.
"It boggles the mind just to think of all the procedures and precautions the company takes to protect my recipe," the Colonel said. "Especially when I think how Claudia and I used to operate. She was my packing girl, my warehouse supervisor, my delivery person -- you name it. Our garage was the warehouse.
"After I hit the road selling franchises for my chicken, that left Claudia behind to fill the orders for the seasoned flour mix. She'd fill the day's orders in little paper sacks with cellophane linings and package them for shipment. Then she had to put them on a midnight train."
Little did the Colonel and Claudia dream in those days that his formula would be famous around the world.

WTF
lots of nice sounding chemicals.............urm i mean spices...............
mind you I love my mum's fried chicken...........it beats KFC by far..............
the only reason why people eat it, it is because it has some kind of "secret" addictive chemical.................would not be surprised if it is nicotine dervitave.

@lucas
I have heard that too!
apparently it depends on the people and what they are willing to pay toeat, so they change the recipe
has anyone noticed Brixtons KFC and MacDonalds taste much more different from the one in Piccadily Circus...............try it , I swear it is different.

I think your taking this a little too much to heart...
what really amazes me is why as cornel sanders the only white man in history to EVER fry chicken?...maybe he hijacked the resipe from them poor negro folk

Perhaps, but the point is the recipe listed by Lady Day is probably incorrect.

Withyour claimed knowlwdge of Organic Chemistry you should see the absurdity of that claim. Synthesising the Nicotene additive form the tobacco plant or from an artificial source touse as flavouring would be cost prohibitive, not to mention the tax on tobacco products that is levied in the US
