There is a certain category of premium products that not everyone can afford.
Especially when it comes to regular consumption.
Some try delicacies only a few times, but then remember the taste for a lifetime.
It's interesting to learn that some incredibly expensive food items were once considered meals for the less affluent segments of the population.
Today's delicacies were once displayed on the tables of poor people.
Black caviar
It's hard for many to believe that one of the most expensive products in the world was once considered cheap and unremarkable food.
Caviar was consumed by various social classes, but even the poorest could afford it.
Interestingly, the high consumption led to a significant reduction in fish populations, which greatly influenced the formation of its value.
Snails
Fans of French cuisine know that this product is a true delicacy served in expensive restaurants.
It's interesting to learn that for many years, snails were a free "protein supplement" to the meager rations of French poor people.
Oysters
In modern culinary tradition, there's a persistent stereotype that oysters are a luxurious dish for the wealthy.
However, in the past, oysters were primarily consumed by the less affluent people living in close proximity to the sea.
Like black caviar, oysters have faced a decline in population due to active consumption.
