Unrelated story but when guests would come over, my mom would go to the store and buy the fanciest meat (usually filet mignon) and put it in a stew/soup (she liked making soups). To this day the only way I've had filet mignon was in soup
But why though? That sounds completely backward. Wouldn't you use cheap meats in soups?
It is backwards and it doesn’t make sense. My mom just had a poor understanding of how to be fancy and my dad was too nice to correct her
