Aaaaand: Having a kitchen was considered upper class, eating out was for the lowers, if I remember correctly.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Correct, though with the addendum that having a kitchen pretty invariably also meant having a chef (or at least a dual-use servant-chef), and that the rich were constantly eating at each other's houses and critiquing each other's food.

The Sparticus TV show I liked did NOT imply eating out was for lower classes.
