"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Grandma Yelton cut this recipe out of a newspaper in the 1960's (the original recipe still exists!) and it was a Thanksgiving staple at her house. It's been adapted over the years as some of the ingredients in the original recipe are no longer in production. Even with the changes, it still tastes like Grandma's.
