The first time I had Sunday dinner with my ex-OH's family - way back in1983 or something - I was astounded to see a loaf of processed white sliced bread in it's wrapper sat on the table.
Now in fairness ex MIL made wonderful gravy (her broccoli was overcooked and bright green with bicarb and her roast beef always cooked until it was grey BUT the gravy and roast potatoes were to die for). At the end of the meal ex and siblings poured any remaining gravy onto their plates and grabbed a slice of bread to mop it up with.
My middle class sensibilities were totally confused. I should have realised then it wasn't going to work. I mean - processed white sliced bread??
