The class war of food is fascinating. Who eats what, where and how.
Even what we call the food: in English when an animal is in the field we call it by it’s Germanic root, and when it’s lovingly prepared into food we use it’s french root. Cow becomes beef. Swine becomes pork.
Why, because we had a french nobility that refused to learn the commoners’ language. People were learning the french names for dishes through imitation/force/necessity due to the monarchy, and that language trickled down.
Anyways, I suspect its just gentrification as applied to food. Same pressures, same process as gentrification just applied to food.
