Haha I was raising my eyebrow at the salad and meat. I think it makes sense for them to eat bread and vegetables if they’re supposed to be impoverished to the point of being unable to afford servants. “Shabby genteel” would often have to grow their own vegetables and make pots of soup go for an entire week. Eating it with a heel of brown bread was a good way to balance the diet... that being said... thinly sliced meat and a salad with tomatoes is definitely one of those eastern misconceptions of what westerners eat/could afford 😅
