For those who like OLD BAY Seasoning, I found this to be a good read. "thumbsup"
Preservation Maryland *|* Old Bay was Created in Baltimore by a German-Jewish Immigrant
I use Old Bay in my chowders, but there is always that blast of celery seed that I'm not big on.
Another option, I honestly prefer this one over OB. Not as salty and more cayenne pepper. Originally from our Eastern shore, been made in Baltimore for some time now.
He sent me a thing of it and it's darn near Old Bay with a lot of cayenne.
I'll confess, I've never had Brunswick Stew before, so I have no idea what it is "supposed" to taste like. What I ended up with was pretty good, though. When you are using leftover smoked meat, I guess you can't go wrong. :mrgreen:
I got the recipe from this cookbook: Smoking Meat: The Essential Guide to Real Barbecue. The recipe gave a well balanced taste of smoky, sweet and spicy all at once.
