My Mrs fancied beef wellington as advertised by m&s I said how much is it and her reply was I didn’t noticed, then I looked and found the price £60 fucking quid are they taking the piss or what.

A lot easier to make than it looks, especially if you use store bought pastry

Pandering to the twats with more money than sense

Probably cost about £40 in ingredients so it depends if you’ve got the confidence to do it well yourself.

beef fillet it quite expensive at the minute and even if you went for a cheaper cut like topside you are looking at about 12 quid a kilo for a decent joint

musrooms about £4 a kilo and cabbage about £1 and pastry £1.50

so to make will probably set you back £30 if using fillet and best mushroom, more if you choose the optional inclusion of patè

Or go to iceland they do a frozen one for £22

No she’s obviously looked at the product price and taken the advice of her wise husband and dismissed it like the clever lady she is think that the money could be spent more wisely

Cabbage Genie? What recipe have you been using?

I remember going in M&S last year and their Turkeys started at 45 quid!! I thought that can’t be right so went next door to Sainsburys and they were 12 quid. How the feck can you justify that price differential? M&S turkeys must lead a charmed life (or not as the case maybe!) dining out on foie gras n truffles.

Cabbage Genie? What recipe have you been using?

classic recipes call for a extra binding before wrapped in pastry, some use crapenette or Streaky bacon, others use savoy cabbage

they absorb the moisture of the duxelle and meat
