I went and had to take a look see to figure out which one I used (is
this a potential RFC survey?). Old Bay is not something I've ever
bought for myself. Just looked - I'll use the Zatarain's crab boil
"(mesh) bag" in a pinch - but I like the liquid stuff better since it's
more 'intense' maybe. I think the liquid stuff is Zatarain's too,
except I don't have any on hand to confirm the brand. But dang it, I
have to go to a different grocery store just to get the liquid stuff!
The 'liquid stuff' is better to use for multiple batches, however,
because the mesh bags can be used only one time.

Sky, who makes sure that 'list' is handy!
