WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT... uh... I'm fine. The pickle is, well, 
a little strange in texture, as older pickles tend to be, and there's 
been some degradation of the aromatic stuff in it. But it tasted 
fine, all things considered. I'm not arguing that we have not clearly 
passed the expiration date on this product: it's close to ten years 
old. Nevertheless, it's a pretty amazing testament to the power of a 
honey/vinegar/wine/salt pickle.

Obviously, the thing to do is bring it to my mother's house for 
Thanksgiving ;-). Okay, Drakey, maybe not...

For those interested in trying this stuff in its green, non-vintage 
state (wussies!), here's a link to what is as close to a recipe as 
I've got:

We could probably synthesize a more formal-recipe-format if needed...
