"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:
This is a great Thanksgiving dish. You can adjust the glaze to your taste. It's actually a lot of glaze, so cut back a little if you don't want it too sweet.
