Found the "they don't know" guy of the comment section.

What if it's an omelette shaped thing made entirely out of cheese?

French it's my first language and it's definitely 'Omelette du fromage'.

If your cheese have an omelette then you are right. In all other situations, you are not.

The dish that Americans call beef stroganoff has very little in common with the French boeuf stroganoff.

Like every other native dish, transferred to other countries.

It's a joke.

And it's still yet to be explained. I keep seeing people ask why people are making jokes about beef stroganoff, and nobody ever tells me.

Someone posted a survey they'd received in regards to a beef stroganoff recipe, asking them when they wanted to received notifications. One of the options was 'only if something big happens' (paraphrasing from memory).

Absurd and ridiculous, so it's been picked up as a meta thing (you'll see people commenting about whether something big has happened), but others don't know the origin so now we're just seeing general beef stroganoff themed memes and puns.

Thank you, finally someone explains it.

Some native dishes transferred to other countries are surprisingly faithful.

Also my comment was a joke as well based on exactly the same premise as your joke. I think my joke is funnier considering how you didn't even get that, despite you making the exact same joke.

It's actually Bef Stroganov.

You're all confusing beef Stroganoff with fricassée de boeuf

Actually, you left out about 27 vowels from the first word.

It was a dish made by a French chef for the Russian Tsar and his family. It's a a French dish called fricassée de boeuf with some Russian tweaks such as adding onions and sour cream. So it's made by a French chef but it's a Russian dish

funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

the additional context being sour cream was difficult to come by in Russia during certain times so became a rare delicacy for the rich
