I asked on memes yesterday. Apparently it all started because of this post.

Then there was this... https://sopuli.xyz/post/3729424

I wonder why Jerboa can't handle these links but Sync can. That app just works.

As for the memes themselves, good stuff.

I saw that and didn't think it could possibly be the origin of all this. I stand corrected.

No idea but they’re really draining the well fast on this one.

It’s not even funny.

beef stroganoff is the new can of beans

How about some context?

No thanks, I just ate.

Beef Stroganoff is having a moment? It's about time. Lets make 2024 the year of tater tot casserole!

The dish was named after Count Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff, who lived in the late 19th century in Odessa. There are two versions of the dish's origin. According to one of them, Beef Stroganoff was invented by the French chef Andre Dupont for the elderly Count, whose teeth were no longer strong enough for chewing large pieces of meat. According to another, more popular version, this dish was prepared specially for the guests of Count Stroganoff. Being a wealthy and childless person, Stroganoff often invited people for so-called "open tables". Everyone could join these dinners, the only condition was to be properly dressed and fairly educated. Beef Stroganoff was a tasty meal that could be easily divided into portions. Therefore it was ideal for such "open tables" provided by Stroganoff.

That's what the deal was then. Now it's $1.66 at Walmart.

A guy brought beef stew to a fight, but he soon realized his mistake.

It was not strog-enough

This is the reason I searched for this community. Thanks all for shedding light on the mystery for me!
