What does the “Fischstäbchen mit Mayo” meme mean?

The humor comes from that mismatch between the solemn tone and the sheer ordinariness of the meal, a staple of quick German home cooking.
Where does the “Fischstäbchen mit Mayo” meme come from?

Shared and reused in edits, the clip circulated for its comedy, which rests entirely on the contrast between the solemn delivery and the triviality of the dish, with no link to any particular brand or recipe.
