Page 13: New York Time’s mushroom beef wellington recipe misses the memo

Victorians may have lost their appetite for beef wellington after the mushroom deaths saga, but it’s a different story in New York after this media outlet made it the poster recipe for thanksgiving.

The recipe for the beef wellington that caused the deaths of three people who ate it and charges of murder and attempted murder made intentional headlines.

But not it appears in the discerning pages of the New York Times, where the weekly newsletter suggests replacing turkey for thanksgiving with the aforementioned beef wello, named after the old Duke of Wellington.

The lunch served up at a family lunch down at Leongatha supposedly contained death cap mushrooms, which thankfully for thanksgiving are not included in the recipe served up in the NYT.

It says, rather pompously, that its mushroom wellington “is a feat in mushroom engineering in which seared portobello mushrooms stand in for beef tenderloin and are enrobed in a vegan mushroom duxelles.”

“A meat and potatoes lover is almost always also a mushroom lover, and this dish provides both the pomp and heft to wow and even satisfy the greatest sceptic.”

Kitchen alert: no death cap mushrooms.
