Hi! What is accent? Where do you find it? I love your site, I use it weekly! Thank you
Ditto to Bridget. I’ve never heard of “accent” in a recipe before. No clue what it is. Please enlighten us 🙂
Accent is MSG, unfortunately. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/AccentSpike.htm
Accent is MSG.
Accent is an all natural flavor enhancer. It has 60% less sodium than salt. You find it by the spices on the grocery store shelf.
Hi Bridget. You find accent on the spice aisle at the grocery store. Accent just add a little flavor. It is a natural flavor enhancer. It has 60% less sodium than salt. You don’t need to add it if you don’t want to. The taste will change slightly though.
Interesting…I would do it without “accent” myself. Looks like a yummy dip recipe…would look cute at our Christmas Even appetizer spread.
This would make a perfect snack tray and dip for the kids – healthy too. Thanks, I needed this!
If you don’t want to use Accent(tm), substitute Beau Monde – also found on the spice aisle at the store and salt free.
Wow that looks and sounds awesome! Definitely need to give this a try, thanks for sharing 🙂
Don’t put 2 cups of mayo…. Way to much mayo 🙂
hello My name is Marion and I come from a little place called WIrral which is about 3miles from LIverpool, Merseyside, England
I would like to know what half and half is. Also what is accent?
many thanks
Half and Half is found in the dairy section of our stores. It is half whole milk and half cream. Accent is an all natural flavor enhancer. It wakes up the food flavor. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks for stopping by from Liverpool England! Our cousin served a mission in Manchester England and LOVED it!
Looks Delicious, Got to try this.
