    This is the winning recipe from the Spokane's "Festival of Foodies" show in 2003. Kelvin writes, "I first made a version of this smokey delight for a Ducks Unlimited Banquet while living in Canada's Mackenzie Delta Northwest Territories. They loved it there. Warm Cumberland sauce drizzled over top before serving was said to be delicious!"
