See, what I’m mainly interested in is how the Erin Patterson case is going to influence the popularity of Beef Wellington as a dinner option. I know that if I was having a dinner party this week, I’d be tempted to make it for a laugh (although I don’t expect my guests would enjoy the joke).

Obsessed with this hilariously mundane letter to the editor of the Argus (dated 28 March 1944) that I found while looking for something else. Is this the equivalent of posting on Twitter/IG/Facebook when a company disappoints you?
