A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Lobster, caviar, mussels, oysters, sushi, ribs, fondue, raclette... They all started as poor people's dishes
Mussels, oysters and lobster (prawns as well) really pisses me off. Lobster costing like $30-40 a fucking tail is absolutely insane. They are pretty much the rabbits or rats of the ocean.
May I presume you live far from where lobsters are found? In places local to where they're caught they are no where near that expensive. Transporting live lobster is probably far more expensive than most other foods.
"Tricksy little scrooges, they stole it from us."
And only became associated with luxury due to the insane costs of producing and shipping them at scale. Well, for the seafood anyways.
Don't forget the scarcity through over extracting! Nothing says luxury like near extinction.
Shipping used to be the hard part. Eating caviar in Russia in a place with sturgeons nearby was easy enough, serving it at a fancy diner in Berlin or Paris involved insane logistics for the time.
Mussels, at least, are still fairly cheap. For now.
