I did some for a dinner party a couple of months ago, but made individual wellies rather than one big one sliced, served with garlicky crushed new potatoes and french beans, washed down with Cote de Nuit. I varied the duxelle a bit by using quite a lot of Pedro Ximenez dark sweet sherry instead of white wine. This gave it a really rich, rounded flavour. Starter was potted shrimps washed down with Viognier, pudding was stewed summer fruits poured over toasted brioche with home-made vanilla ice cream, followed by British cheeses and fruit with a Calvados-type brandy. It was only while making it all that I realised quite how much dairy produce was in it, and the calorie content was probably in the millions, but what the hell...
