"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:
We do not know where Dad go this recipe from. We think that he maybe got it from his work. We do not remember him making this, so it must have been an old recipe. He took a lot of detailed notes, so it must be something he was passionate about!
