I only remember having ham at Easter.  Rib roast was for Christmas.
There is a market that sells beef tenderloin en croute (aka beef
Wellington)

I'm aware of that.  This Beef Wellington, as advertised, contains both, spread thinly under the pastry on top of the meat.  I've been hearing ads for this particular meat market and their holiday offerings on the radio on the way to work.  I'm not interested in driving 120 miles round trip for Beef Wellington, no matter how tasty it might be.

  Maybe.  I used to drive 160 miles round trip for a ham.
Couple of times a year we'd head out to Nodine's Smokehouse for a selection of bacon, ham, other assorted goodies.
 On the return trip, we'd stop at another store or two for things not found locally.  Nice day out and good eating for weeks to come.

Sure, but I dislike driving and even more dislike shopping.  There's an excellent meat market practically across the street from the office that sells excellent cuts of meat.  They're not offering pre-prepared "Wellington" but I can live without it.  I've reserved a prime rib roast there for Christmas.  I'll pick it up on my way home from work next Tuesday.  Publix supermarket is across the street from the meat market. I'll get all the other things I need to go with the meal there before driving home.
