Made a Beef Wellington for Christmas. I followed the Serious Eats recipe. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-ultimate-beef-wellington-recipe

My issue with Wellington isn't that it doesn't look perfectly loverly, but that the actual eating of it is something of a chore, with everything kind of flying apart as the cutlery goes to work.

I'm thinking that maybe making smaller, thinner loaves would work out better if it could then be eaten like a sandwich. That way, everything has a much higher ability to hold together. Another alternative might be making it like a toasted hoagie / submarine sandwich, between two halves of flaky bread.

Oh wow... actually it's a thing:

Really thought you were slow-walking us to turning this into a hot dog lol

Shit... that missed opportunity is going to haunt me now.

Wait until you hear how you bungled your way past writing “my beef with Wellington is...”.

Good thing we didn't point out the big one then. Sheesh 👀

The same thought process can lead you to discover the "mini chimichanga" which is so much better than the full size thing

I don't really eat deep-fried food anymore, but I'd be curious to try them, yeah.

They kinda remind me of Indian samosas, which are of course delicious.

Ha, "samosa" was my immediate reaction! Or like a Mexican eggroll or something
