Actually that is still true in many places. Where I grew up we eat out 
atleast 5 times a week and every school day for lunch because it was cheeper 
than eating at home, and the school did not provide even a lunch room. Oh 
yeah, I grew up in Saudi Arabia and England.

I recently read an article that was regarding the daily habits of the 
Elizabethan middle and upper class, not noblity.  It stated that the vast 
majority of houses in the middle and upper-middle classes did not contain 
what we would regard as a kitchen.  The article speculates that is was 
cheaper to 'eat out' than to cook at home due to the lack of any way to keep 
food w/o spoiling, while taverns/inns would be able to constantly get 
fresher food.  At home foods would have been breads and easy to keep veggies 
(onions, turnips, ect) but meat at home would have been uncommon.

proper gentle born and then be fed in a tavern.
