  1. This was a step on the wild side for me. This dish is unlike anything I have every tried before and I have to say, I was extremely pleased. I love the Cavender's seasoning and the cinnamon in the sauce lended a truly interesting flavor to the whole dish. DH was really sceptical but he and I both really enjoyed this. Thanks ;)
