What with this stuff? What's so "Montreal" about it? I've been in
Montreal, and I've never run into a restaurant where this is the rage, but
it sure seem the rage here in the USA. It seems just to be salt, pepper and
other spices that most of us use anyway.

Lots of salt, fat pepper chunks, garlic, onion powder, cyanne... yummy....

I have never seen it in Montreal either, but who cares!

It is mana. I use it on everything. I buy it in the largest size
available so that I don't run out every 2 weeks.

No idea.

I think it was originally used to season some sort of sausage
there.

I just ran across it for the first time in a
restaurant in Syracuse a couple of weeks ago.
We asked the waiter what it was and were told
it was just salt and pepper.

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, and
bursting 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 zesty
dimension to all your steak and beef dishes.
.
Facts & Folklore:
Montreal Steak Seasoning will season steak to the specifications of even the
most demanding connoisseur, but it's also the perfect seasoning to be rubbed
or 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 onto
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.
.

McCormick Food Service offers Montreal Steak Seasoning in the following
sizes: 29 oz. PET btle., 7# btle. w/ handle.

Maybe there but in the McCormicks it is
course salt, course black pepper, dehydrated garlic, red pepper seeds,
dill, and a few other items.

It is easy to duplicate at home if you have a peper mill that doesn't
create pepper dust and you have all the ingrediants to stuff into it.
I think it is cheaper to buy it though.

It's certainly NOT just salt & peper. There are 6 or 7 spices in it and it has the
consistency of coarse salt or large sea salt. They also have a rub out now. It came out
for commercial use last fall and I saw a tv commercial about a month ago

Good stuff, but you can definately overdo it with the rub if your not careful

A nice dry marinade or dry rub for the bbq.

Very nice on bbq-ed chicken (rub on about 20-30 minutes before grilling.

2 tbsp coarse sea salt

4 tsp caster sugar
3.5 tsp crushed chervil leaves
3 tsp ground black peppercorns
1.5 tsp cinnamon bark

I use the chicken all the time as well. It is really good on
potatoes. With some olive oil for oven fries or mixed with a touch of
italian seasoning for home fries. This stuf rocks.
