Originated in the aristocracy? I always thought of it as basic cold-weather comfort food: chunks of beef in gravy, maybe some onions or potatoes mixed in, served hot over noodles. It was a normal meal in my suburban family, and also with my rural relatives out in farm county.

That said, I don't get the joke. Same with the bean thing that was going around a month or two back.

There is no joke other than the original post, which I've linked here in another comment.

It's just silly and it caught on as a trend, just like the beans or the no poop challenge.

I guess we are witnessing a form of metamorphosis of Lemmy. The Stroganov is us proving we can really get wildly absurd over something utterly benign.

I'm so happy to be here. It's 6.30, my day is on the right tracks.

There was this picture with a questionnaire, it was something like "How often do you want Beef Stroganoff updates?" and one of the options was "Only if something big happens". No need to be salty just because you weren't there. Not everything that you don't understand needs to fuck off.

What is relevant about where it originated? I grew up in abject poverty and we ate that frequently.

Just because it originated in the aristocracy does not mean that we cannot have nice things now.

The rich stole caviar, so it's only fair for the proletariat to retaliate by liberating one of their dishes.

I haven't seen the memes only mentions of it but if you're talking about Stroganoff, I assumed it was a joke that it's rich people food.

Where I live it's mostly associated with cheap buffet style restaurants, although they make it from pork, not beef.

We have overthrown the aristocracy and claimed their foods for the proletariat.
