I have mentioned Old Bay Seasoning several times in relation to cooking with seafood. Here is a picture of the spice container. Apparently, according to one friend, if I want to take one thing home that says I've been to Maryland, Old Bay is it. We will bring home a packet, and see what Australian Customs says!! The ingeredients are sparse, I suspect they're keeping a secret recipe secret -
celery salt (salt and celery seed), spices (including red pepper and black pepper) and paprika. On the back of the tin, in mentions a unique blend of 18 herbs and spices. A quick internet search comes up with any number of 'recipes'.
Created by a German immigrant called Gustav Blunt, in 1939, and named after the Old Bay Line, a passenger ship in the Chesapeake. Bought by McCormick in 1990.
