Guinness beef stew open thread

Usually there’s pie.

But this is not pie. This is Guinness beef stew.

What happened was that I thought, for a bit of variety, maybe we could go with shepherd’s pie.

The shepherd’s pie looked pretty good.

But then the same thing happened that happens every time I’m thinking that the shepherd’s pie looks pretty good. I always wind up going with the Guinness beef stew instead, because it looks even better.

Anyway, consider this a conflict-avoidance open thread.
