Yes, but I think they were referring to either a:) the ability to afford to eat out or b:) the ability to be able to afford more than one course.

I never have in my 25 years on this planet. A little salad or some roasted peppers or something like that if anything at all

Not for me, the few times I'd be fed from a fancy place was always a shared single item.

Only if you can afford it. Like ordering a drink instead of water.
