There's a really good example of this in the 1965 film 'The Ipcress File' with Michael Caine (recommended). Caine's character is portrayed as a gourmand, a bon viveur - he grinds his own coffee and uses a French press to brew it in - though I suspect that the director had never used one, as he doesn't actually let it brew. In once scene he visits a a new-fangled supermarket with a colleague and picks up a can of tinned champignon from the shelves, remarking on how good they are. It always struck me how attitudes had changed. Today the character would be looking for the freshest mushrooms from the local farmers market.
