Stop! That expensive Beef Stroganoff isn’t a gourmet masterpiece. It’s actually baby food for a toothless billionaire! 🥩👶
In the 19th century, Count Pavel Stroganoff was the richest man in Russia, but he had a humiliating problem: He lost all his teeth in old age.
He loved steak, but he couldn’t chew it anymore! 🦷🚫
So, his French chef invented a special recipe:
He cut the beef into tiny strips and drowned it in sour cream (Smetana) to make it soft and mushy.
Basically, he created “pre-chewed” meat so the old Count wouldn’t choke.
So, you are paying luxury prices for an old man’s soft diet.
