I know that you were ranting, but is always HELPS, quite a lot, if you have even just a glimmer of an idea what you're talking about and you don't.

No, caviar was NEVER "peasant food", but neither was it some "elitist food either.

In American, lobsters were so plentiful and looked down upon, that New Englanders, in Colonial times, feed them to their pigs.

Many once "cheap" dishes, now contain extremely expensive ingredients, and have risen in the ranks to be considered "chi-chi" food; Boeuf Bourguignon for one, because it has a French name. It's just French beef stew, with wine, after all....PEASANT FOOD!

At one time, gelatin molds were ONLY for the very wealthy. Times and tastes change, as does what is "in", "out", and considered to be top of the tree food stuffs.
