re: Beef Wellington (Pic thread - a la MeridianDog)

I'm not crazy about beef wellington as I prefer my meat to be a little crispy seared, but that looks awfully good.

I went to a restaurant in a small town a year or so ago. I think I posted about it. Anyway, there was a chalk board at the hostess desk with specials and the app special was "duck cells". I wish I'd taken a pic. I thought it was something involving duck with which I wasn't familiar, so we asked the waiter, who began explaining about the mushrooms etc... It was very very hard to keep a straight face. We burst after he left.
