Montreal Seasonings--from Delaware (1991, 1994)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   I was browsing through Rec.Food.Cooking and found this.  Montreal
seasonings are "all the rage" in the U.S.?  Trademarks follow.  I think the company
just wanted to start a brand like "K. C. Barbecue" and made this regionalism up
a bit.
   Anyway, something for the ADS-L Canada folks.
   Let's see, there are Texas Weiners from New Jersey, there's Texas Toast
from Ohio, there are New York System hot dogs from Rhode Island, .there's Lady
Baltimore Cake from Charleston...

Just in case you have not looked at the company website here is what they say
about their product :Dimitri

History & Geography:In the finest restaurants, in quaint alley bistros, in
the nooks and crannies of a place called Old Montreal, steaks are served thick,
rare, andbursting with bold, savory flavor. McCormick's Montreal Steak
Seasoning is a robust tribute to the rousing blend of flavors that made Montreal
steak worth traveling for..Nutritionally Speaking:This is the blend of gourmet
spices and peppers that will add a zestydimension to all your steak and beef
dishes..
Facts & Folklore:Montreal Steak Seasoning will season steak to the
specifications of even themost demanding connoisseur, but it's also the perfect
seasoning to be rubbedor shaken onto pork chops, hamburgers- even vegetables- before
grilling or broiling. Use I to give marinades a zesty edge, and shake it into
soups,sauces, and dressings. Add savory flavor to salad croutons, or shake on
to baked, mashed, or fried potatoes. Sprinkle it into tomato juice. Add it to
fish or poultry coatings. Montreal Steak Seasoning is the flavor sensation that
brings out the savory best in all your foods..
