I've never had the nerve to make a rough puff... I'm always afraid
I'll be disappointed. Most applications I see these days for puff
pastry are simply using store bought puff pastry in place of a hand or
FP made shortcrust. I think people need to put their expensive enough
FP (that they probably got as a wedding gift) to work more often.

The things people give for wedding gifts these days is amazing. My
DIL got one of the $400 Vita Mixes. Fortunately, she does make the
kind of smoothies that need it - I used it to make gazpacho and it
blitzed through the tomatoes as if they were yogurt. I just
discovered another wedding gift of theirs.... a cork popper. It's a
fantastic one (I'm putting it on my Christmas wish list), but it's $89
USD and that's not even the most expensive one they have. Seriously!
