I have a list of "rich foods" that I'll never eat no matter how wealthy I might get. Expensive does not automatically mean better.

Rella,

True. A lot of expensive food like a caviar I had was seriously overrated. And I love simple ramen or whatever.
But knowing how to make a meal like in a expensive restaurant is good too.
If I really work an hour on an elaborate meal it could definitely be called "Rich" and definitely worth it.

Rafaela,

The "poor" part is not about taste... it's about cost of ingredients.

Lol totinos on sale at $1.25? my things have changed. Since early 2000s they shrunk the size, changed it to a square and it used to be 88 cents.

I grew up in the swamps of the southern US. I've seen a lot of foods poor people eat become fancy ingredients (and more expensive) over time. Oysters, Hearts-of-palm, crawfish, mullet, okra, porkbelly, red fish, etc. I'm sure this happens in other regions too. I think it's a natural progression, but it's interesting when a "new" food gets discovered and popularized by outsiders. The oyster beds and mullet shallows I grew up upon have now largely been shut down due to over use to fill the demand of external markets.
