Review: Here now, is the second and most important half of the holy seasoning trinity… or twinity… or something.
More important than labels is the transcendent experience this celery-salt laden east-coast spice provides you when you taste it. Intended for seafood, Old Bay has been discovered, by the more adventurous of us, to be endlessly delicious on just about any edible material in this universe. In my humble opinion, Old Bay is the missing ingredient in every crappy frozen pizza you have ever eaten.
Old Bay’s flavor is packed with ingredients such as mustard seed, various dehydrated peppers, ginger and cinnamon. To the lay-cook with a heavy shake, Old Bay’s flavor may come on a bit strong, but with proper training and practice, this long-lasting relish can be used to make anything taste better. Cook with it, mix up a marinate with Old Bay and water, dissolve it in soups and stews or simply sprinkle it on a bowl of rice. The possibilities are endless. Once your nerves have calmed and you have advanced to the upper levels of steadiness, Old Bay even tastes good when ever-so-delicately applied to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
A house without Old Bay is obviously not a house where I live.
Rating: 4.75 / 5
