There must be something wrong with me, I have to add msg and salt to their stuff.
There may be. But odds are you've just gotten used to it.
We crave flavor and most of the canned/boxed stuff we consume is just low quality crap with generic flavor profiles and a butt ton of salt.
Makes sense. I sometimes add a crushed garlic clove, some herbs, salt, pepper, msg, and brunoise carrot before cooking to augment.
I've had the same issue. If I've forgotten lunch I grab something quick to heat and it tastes bland. I got a chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy microwave dish. I couldn't believe how much like nothing it tasted
