The phrase is linked to French creator David Lafarge Pokemon, whose ingredient listing was clipped and shared as a standalone sound in French meme circles. Detached from any recipe, the words puree d'oignon and fecule de pomme de terre became funny simply for their sound and specificity. The clip spread through soundboards and short edits where users replay it as a non sequitur response to food, shopping and cooking scenes. It remains popular because almost anyone can use it without needing the original context.
