It has been in the headlines lately as the dish of choice at the center piece for a triple Murder in rural Victoria.
When Erin Patterson made Beef Wellington for some of her Inlaws but failed to attract her estranged husband Simon to the repast, it did all seem a bit dodge.
After over a week of deliberation, following a ten week trial, 12 jurors agreed with police and prosecution the deaths of her parents in law and another adult, aunt of Simon were murder, the survival of a pastor, husband of the Aunt also at the lunch was attempted murder.
Those foodies who know what Beef Wellington is will know they are individual pastries so a variable dose was possible for the Padre Ian to avoid the Toxin induced death, and mysteriously Erins meal was served on an “Orange Plate while the others were served lunch on white Plates.
Now the whole event was pure Miss Marple, with a Raymond Burr sauce, and has attracted media scrutiny from across the Globe to a little town with a reputation for rose growing.
At age fifty Erin will have little time to enjoy life without her Inlaws around but it could be that Simon will finally solve any remaining issues around his divorce of Erin?
Robbie Burns on deceit is a major component of the thriller that entered its closing of stage one yesterday. tage two sentencing remains somewhere in the future.
One little bit of irony accompanied the unfolding drama with Patterson on hold in local police cells being. served chicken and mushrooms, someone had a sense of humour aye.
