    I don’t think about beef Wellington enough to have ever made this connection, but it’s not wrong.

    Is beef Wellington perceived as a genuinely posh thing? It feels more old and crusty to me, right? Like 1960s aspirational middle class, rather than genuinely rich bougie stuff. A thing for the kind of people that thinks of sushi as “exotic”.

      Beef Wellington made right is delicious, but it’s just another recipe. I have to argue against the corn dog parallel, however, because Wellington is made from a whole piece of meat, not a sausage. It’s still definitely only fancy if you are the type that finds sushi exotic.
