I'd assume that Jalapeno seasoning has dried jalapeno probably in a
seasoning salt base. But that is just a guess.

Old Bay Seasoning is a popular seafood seasoning that was created along
the east coast - Mass, Maine, ...Chesapeake Bay, maybe (hence, the "Old
Bay"). It is susposedly famous along the East coast. You should be able to
order it, if you can't find it locally.
