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.
The dish was originally served in tsarist Russia. Not just any beef chunks, but quickly sautéed beef tender with a sauce of demi-glace and crème fraiche. Even the egg noodles were just eggs and white (!) flour.
The French chefs of the time were working in Russia after the revolution in France. The fact that your family wasn’t living in serfdom is why they were able to enjoy those dishes.
Wait until you find out what Marie Antoinette really said. What a c—t!

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.

Well, today I learned something.
