Completely agree, though if I do try food from other countries I want to have it as close as possible to how it's enjoyed by discerning locals … I'm not sure if that counts as being snobbish?
Some people I work with have literally the same sandwich every day … Pa Amb Tomaquet is a national dish that invokes pride (if done right) while also being thoroughly working class.
What I've seen of fancy places is the "peasant food" is fancied up with "better" ingredients, or the recipe is changed, which just turns my appetite off … fortunately that's not a frequent problem for me since I can't afford to spend on eating out, lol

What's wrong with that? If you like something you can eat it.
Yeah I don't trust that site either; read this summary of the linked article

David Brooks tweeted about paying $78 for a meal at an airport, implying high inflation is hurting Americans. However, the actual cost was $17, revealing Brooks was being dishonest to appear more ordinary. The article critiques Brooks' tendency to use superficial cultural references like food instead of material factors to discuss class. Brooks sees class as a product of culture rather than political economy. This allows him to blame the lower classes' behavior for their circumstances.
The piece argues Brooks and other elite pundits maintain a patronizing view of those below them, even as they claim to better understand non-coastal Americans in the aftermath of the 2016 election.
