Well, it was started by the Old Bay Company in Baltimore, Maryland,
and was popular locally. Years later, the company was bought by
McCormick, which had a plant at the harbour forever and perfumed
downtown Baltimore with all the various spices and aromas. They've
now moved to a Baltimore ex-urb (i.e., further out than a suburb).
McCormick
peddles it all over the US, which saves me from sending it to everyone
who is interested! Secretly, it's not quite the same as the original.
So - there's a little bit of local culinary history for you.


peddles it all over the US now. Don't know if they went international
with it.
