As interesting a chemical as that would be, repurposing Enriched MSG into it sounds like a dumb idea.
As I understand it, Enriched MSG is just supposed to be a good healing chem that's humorous as well. I'm also getting the vibe it's something that the chef/barman should be able to make, especially since the hint for it on the wiki is simply "Think of really tasty things."
Ten out of the twelve ingredients can be guessed/worked out using that hint, and the eleventh can be easily made behind the bar anyways. But there's no real way to suss out that you need to add anima, short of an admin telling you, or being insane that you would think to try adding that life-stealing chemical thats a pain in the ass to make.
Are we still working on the idea that it's better to balance the more dangerous chemicals behind more difficult recipes versus hoping jerks dont spread the ingredient lists around? Because that's a good idea. But that isn't the case here. Requiring a chemical that requires cooperation from multiple people to make because it can be such a potent grief generator as an ingredient for what looks to be a pretty good, gimmicky healing chem isn't fun, or really feel that fair. Especially to the chefs, since recursive fried food items are frowned upon now.
