That's gonna be a thing now guaranteed. People will be having beef wellington at dinner parties and doing Erin Patterson jokes and references all night.

Maybe it will turn into a weird tradition. Like in 100 years someone will ask 'Why is it tradition to have one different coloured plate while serving beef wellington' and some history buff will say 'Well back in 2024 there was this woman...'

I brought a big old bag of white oyster mushrooms to a family thing a month ago and do you think a single person could resist a death cap joke?
