I have a favorite seasoning that I am almost out of.

It was made by a family who owned a butchershop in my home town. They moved to someplace in the mid west and I had been able to order it over the phone from them but the number I had has been disconnected and I can only assume they are out of business since googleing them gives me nothing current.

SO...I want to try to recreate this seasoning. I have 3 jars left.

Does anyone know of a company or a way to find out what is in this other than the obvious salt and paprika?

HELP!!!

Well... Alton Brown lives in Atlanta, I believe. Maybe you can try writing him a letter or something and ask him? And I'm being serious, he just might, he seems like a pretty damn nice guy.

Otherwise, possibly go to a reasonably nice restaurant for dinner, and ask if the Chef can look at it, s/he may be able to give you some idea too.

I'm actually halfway decent at re-creating recipes I've tasted. Want to send me a sample? 1 tablespoon should be enough for me to get a rough idea of what's in it and I can play around with my extensive collection of herbs and spices to see if I can approximate it.

The ingredients should be on the lable, and if it's just a dry seasoning combination it should just be a matter of getting the right percentages.

Thanks Dragyn...PM me your addy and I'll send you a sample.

The lable does list SOME but not ALL of the ingrediants...whats listed is Salt, Peper, Paprika and OTHER seasonings....

OTHER seasonings.... ?!?! It could be pure MSG or shavings from a huffalumpagus toenail.

A lot of seasons simply list "other spices" as an ingredient. I assume it's specifically to stop people from recreating their products using some loophole in label laws

It's probably 95%+ those first three, with 50%+ being the salt.
