Ärende: Re: Bell's Poultry Season
=================================

 DD>> Bell's Poultry Seasoning
 SD>> I will definitely have to try it / if I can find it here.
 JW>> You probably won't as apparently it's a New England regional thing.
 NB>> available in Pennsylvania, too... :)

 JW> OK then "an American Northeast thing". But probably not Tennessee
 JW> and definitely not the Northwest Territories of Canada!

I'll accept for sure the not where you are... ;)  Not so sure that it
didn't make its way further south here, though... I know I grew up with
it... of course, it's quite possible that Mommy brought it with her from
wherever... I've had a box last for quite a while, myself...  :)

Something that we sometimes see here around this time of year, is boxes
of stuffing mix from Bell's (or whatever their parent company is)...
enough for a whole turkey, and seasoned with Bell's, of course...  :) 
There's two versions, the original and one with dried cranberries added
in... I grab a couple of the latter when I can...  :)  
 
 JW> Something regional that we have and you don't: Back Eddy's Seasoning
 JW> Salt.  The formula was developed by a friend of Roslind's in Hay
 JW> River by the name of Bill Laws, owner of the locally well regarded
 JW> Back Eddy Steak House. It is available only in a few independent
 JW> butcher shops in Edmonton (where it is now made), throughout
 JW> northern Alberta, and in Hay River and Yellowknife. We buy it
 JW> wholesale in 5 pound pails for a mere $15. The smaller retail
 JW> bottles are MUCH more expensive at $8.99 for 14 oz.

Which is still a pretty common price for spices... :)   Is Bill Laws
still around...?  Sounds like what would have been a very local thing at
least got some traction regionally...  ;)

 JW> We re-package our pails into one pound or half pound lots and gift
 JW> Roslind's mom, daughter and a few others who like it and can't get
 JW> it where they live.

That would work quite well...  :)  

 JW> My copy cat version:

Which, I figure, you make up to tide you over when your supply of the
Back Eddy's runs low and it'll be a little while before you get the new
pail of it...?   Do you use a lot of it...?

 JW> Truth be told it's not all that much different than anybody else's
 JW> blend like Lawry's or Hy's etc. Some brands also have paprika or
 JW> turmeric, Montreal steak spice has more coriander seed, Cajun
 JW> blends have cayenne and ground dehydrated bell peppers and
 JW> southwestern blends have cumin.

And there are even some no-sodium blends around...  :)  I don't often
use the blends myself... except for curry powder, chili powder, or
garlic salt... the last for when I think it needs a little more salt,
and more garlic wouldn't hurt...  ;)
