I must take exception to this observation. There are extant examples of
recipes from the Middle East that incorporate the "stroganoff" concept.
Granted, they use "Persian milk" (e.g. yogurt) in place of sour cream and do
not have a noodle base.
Only this past Friday I served a "sroganoff"-like dish at supper from al-
Bahgdadi which consisted of lamb, onions, mint and other seasoning mixed with
yogurt. To all intent and purposes it looked like and tasted very similar to
it's stroganoff counterparts and was period (10th century, IIRC).
