Before fast food restaurants got in on the act very few recipes could beat the air miles racked up by the humble Beef Stroganoff. Created in Russia in the 1800’s for Count Pavel Stroganov, the dish quickly spread to China where it was adopted by U.S. servicemen, before being shipped back to America. Hong Kong and Japan fell shortly afterwards and today you can order a plate to accompany your Caipirinha in Brazil or even your glass of ‘doug’ in Iran. Step aside, Colonel Sanders.
