    The arrogance of the Asquith government maybe?

    You two are a good match

    Google Books give quite an array of detail.




    There is an East Asian "Imperial Sauce" but it's different and probably not what you are looking for.

    Your first link begs the question what is Old Bay seasoning? Ground up nags?

    Are you sure it's not a mint sauce @Fire ?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    There are scores of recipes on tinternet. Here’s another but I have not cross-checked it with Fire’s suggestion.

    It gives a big recommendation to Hellmann’s mayonnaise but making a double spelling error it casts doubt on the precision.

    Might be a form of liquid fertiliser.

    I suggest you look at the newspaper cutting for Imperial Sauce 1912 that you posted on line 5 years ago @war garden 572

    floralies  did not work taste horrid. also I did not wish use dead bugs in recipe 
    the recipe posted 5 years ago. used     Cochineal bugs, also that recipe was Aussie
    not likely correct.. 

    Fire  both don't work either.
    since crab imperial sauce is seafood sauce invented a lot later.
    also the one similar to thousand Island dress does not work
    'since the recipe I need it for is a recipe for thousand Island dressing.

    Stulti  old bay is just spice mix name after old bay steamship line. 
    more to story but no dead horses in it. 

    I found 4 more I am trying this week end. 

    I also have 5 pots full black walnut pulp  I have cook this weekend to
    make Ink.
