No I certainly don't, especially when its laced with death cap mushrooms.
The facts of the case
The facts of the case
On 29 July 2023, Patterson served beef Wellingtons to her estranged husband's parents, Don and Gail Patterson, her mother-in-law's sister, Heather Wilkinson, and Wilkinson's husband, Ian.
The lunch meal at her home in Leongatha consisted of steak covered in mushroom paste, wrapped in pastry.
All four guests were taken to hospital the following day.
Heather Wilkinson and Gail Patterson both died on 4 August, and Don Patterson died on 5 August. Ian Wilkinson was the only guest who survived.
The Mushrooms:-
Gastrointestinal symptoms associated with eating Death Cap mushrooms can appear to resolve after 2 to 4 days, but toxic damage to the liver continues and causes death up to two weeks after ingestion. There is no complete antidote for Death Cap mushroom poisoning and survival depends on early diagnosis and treatment.
