>Although this was a gourmet meal, in many ways it was just as great as the store-bought hot dogs and macaroni salad we had eaten together hundreds of times before; the quality of a meal is really a reflection of the company you share it with as well as the long process and coordination it takes to get everything on the table.
This is such a strange phrase to me. I'm in the UK and it is always the case that processed, mass manufactured food is looked down upon. Store-bought hot dogs are a guilty pleasure or something you resort to as a time saving meal. Certainly not something that anyone would call great. Is the US attitude to this generally the opposite?
