Almost any vegetable may be served with beef. If potato is not served
with fish, it generally accompanies the beef, either as a bed of smooth
mashed potatoes around the beef, or _à la neige_, or as fried
potato-balls (_à la Parisienne_), or, in fact, cooked in any of the
myriad different ways. At dinner companies, beef is generally served
with a mushroom-sauce. However, as any and all vegetables are suitable
for beef, it is only a matter of convenience which to choose.
Horse-radish is a favorite beef accompaniment.
