Always wondered what Beef Wellington was. I loved beef stroganoff and Mac & cheese, the easy way. And ate my share of beans and franks. Sometimes canned spaghetti, but not often. Still love pot roast, with the dry soup mix. That’s authentic enough for me. Yummy! Deviled eggs-you bet! Didn’t eat most of this other stuff.
