It's not exactly about "here" or "there".

It's more about people in peer groups preoccupied with class distinctions, vs, say, 90% of Americans who could not give less fucks about it.

Region plays a role in the distribution and size of such peer groups though.

Class distinction is a second order effect and isn’t really the topic being discussed. The primary mover is pickiness, which does generally track with class.

And class tends to also correlate with having traveled a lot which at least tracks with developing a more varied appetite for different foods.
