I’ve had beef wellington a quite few times and even at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. It’s nice but like, it’s not THAT good in my opinion. My palate is probably unrefined but it’s some good roast beef and pastry seems just like they’re showing off.

This is shit that food snobs tell people to make them feel bad for liking what they like. The foods people like are personal opinions, not fact. There aren’t right and wrong things to like.
Oh and some food being expensive doesn’t mean it is good, it just means it’s expensive, it can still be shitty and suck, even if others delude themselves into thinking it’s good because $$$
I think it’s one of those technically difficult to do well dishes, so it’s easy to make a bad one because even the good ones are already pretty middling
Steak and Kidney pie is more enjoyable, but restaurants do Wellington as a bit of a flex, because it’s tricky to do it well.
Beef Wellington: the fake socioeconomic background of Hyacint “Bouquet”
Corn dog: the real socioeconomic background of Hyacinth Bucket
Keeping up appearances reference, nice.
Oh, it’s pronounced “bouquet”
I make an excellent beef wellington and I have no objections to this assessment.
