Isn't it a Russian dish? I know fricassée de boeuf is French, but once you add onion and sour cream, you're in Russia baby.

Yeah... but Dijon mustard and Paris mushrooms though ?

Been doing my own research. Looks like the dish was born in Russia from the French chef of a Russian noble.

Soo... Jus soli or Jus sanguinis ?

once you add onion and sour cream, you're in Russia baby.

So all this time I've been eating sourcream & onion chips I've been in Russia?? 🤔

Apparently sour cream and onion chips are a Canadian invention, but if you go to India, they're labeled as "American style".

Those Canadians and their seemingly crazy but actually delicious food invention! First hawaiian pizza and now this!

Canadians also invented peanut butter and the California sushi roll.

So George Washington Carver was a fraud? 🤔

Nah, he was really more about crop rotation and sustainable farming practices, which is ridiculously important, but less immediately tasty than peanut butter.

Well, yes. And that was done by the french, who decided to "add a bit of russian flavour" to fricassée de boeuf, and thus create the first ever dish of beef stroganoff, by adding classic russian ingredients, and bring it closer to russian taste. And then russians adopted the dish, and called it their own.

I'm french and I've lived my whole life in this country, and I'll admit, I'm puzzled with this beef stroganoff thing, it's has always seemed like a british dish to me, and between this post and the other one calling it "Bœuf stroganoff" I'm starting to suspect carbon monoxide poisoning

We do have similar dishes like the Bar en croute that Paul Bocuse was famous for but we don't really put beef in pastry unless it's been processed down to a paste that we call pâté (pâté en croute). And even then it's most often pork!

You're thinking of beef Wellington.

Stroganoff is beef (and sometimes mushrooms) in a sour cream based sauce. And I'm pretty sure it's Russian.
