>>15303411>poor people rarely take time to prepare elaborate meals for themselvesPerhaps, but it partially also has to do with imagination. I live in a country that does not have much of it. Most people here are financially well off, but simply lack the creativity and willingness to prepare themselves anything more elaborate than picrel on a typical day. It's not necessarily 'bad', just not very exciting either. Bland, boring. Money is not always a factor in this.
