People tend to overseason crabmeat. I'd
reduce the Old Bay to 2 ds or so.

2 what? 2 dashes? Don't think that is a measure that MM recognizes.
1/8 teaspoon might be about the same.

Errrrrmmmmmm "ds" is a legit MMF abbreviation. First the raw recipe,
then after massaging with MMConv 2.10 and finally the Meal Master
output.

I sit corrected. I also note that pn = pinch is also in the list of measures, but some of the things on my measuring spoon are not, e.g.
tad or smidgen.

Which prompted me to check out some others I run across from time to
time (see MMConv output). The only one which flew was "bunch".

A dessert spoon measure which is sometimes found in olde recipes is the equivalent (10 ml) of two teaspoons (5 ml). Except in Australia.
Servingspoon is more ambiguous - I find that equating 1 serving spoon
to 5 tablespoons gives reasonable results
