Cookery class - AIBU or just arsey?

[LifeIsButtercream]

Ok, last night I started a European and Mediterranean cookery class - the first dish we are learning is....

Stroganoff

Call me picky, but thats Russian, which isn't European or Meditteranean.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE stroganoff, but surely there is enough culinary inspiration in Europe and the Med for a ten week course without having to go further afield on the first week? Or am I geographically challenged?

Parts of Russia are in Europe though?

I thought Stroganoff was Hungarian? If so it's Europe!

You need to focus on something more important TBH. YABU, bits of Russia are now EU.

Well, if you are being technical, then Russia west of the Urals is in Europe, but I would be pretty surprised to cook Stroganoff on a cookery course which advertised itself as European / Mediterranean. But don't think you can't take them to Trading Standards just yet! Until you start on Peking Duck and Pad Thai!

Aaaahh, you're right I should have Googled that before I hitched up my judgy pants! lol! And that part does include St Petersburg, where Stroganoff originated.

cringe

shame

I thought it was hungarian but I might be wrong.

It might be that they had a problem with stock supply and didn't have the correct ingredients for something similar they were going to cook so changed the dish at the last minute.

Did you enjoy it anyway? Fun people in your class? I'd love to do another course. I did an NVQ 2 in professional cookery at college, next time though I want to do a cushy housewifes course, where we dont have to do our own washing up

Moscow is the most populous city in Europe

Enjoy your stroganoff!! Perhaps you should have enrolled in just a Mediterranean cookery class? Of course that may well involve Middle Eastern & North African food too.

Maybe its goulash that is hungarian. Hmm .

Mmmm food.

Falafel's next week?

Hehe, am laughing at myself a bit now!

Am surprised to have not had a few s yet though!

Named after a Russian (not Hungarian) geezer called Stroganoff, innit.

Maybe enrol in a geography class too..

Europe ends 1177 km (ish)east of Moscow
