There are other countries that have not been wealthy but still would consider such basic lunches unpalatable (e.g., Korea, China, Singapore).

All these countries are warm Asian countries, where street food stalls actually work due to the climate.
You can't have the same food culture in places that are covered in snow at least half the year.

Seoul has average temperature below 0 during January and February . Same with Beijing. These temperatures are in line with temperatures seen in countries like Netherlands, which also have a “basic” lunch culture.
Your climate hypothesis doesn’t quite hold unfortunately.
