At the start of this edition, the author begins with a whimsical, yet passionate piece on beef, personifying it as a sacred institution revered by the English people. Dickens humorously details his quest for the perfect cut of beef, contrasting it with his disappointing experiences while dining in Paris, and positing that British beef is unmatched.
