Snobbery, of course it's snobbery. One is on dangerous ground here as One has not been formally introduced to Mr Stringer but One feels morally obliged to make comment on his predicament. One could be lost or abandoned in the Karakorum Range, the dense jungles of PNG or the Essex wasteland between Chelmsford and Colchester and not feel the need to ask a stranger for a nice steak pie, or even meat and potato. Similar to Ben Gunn One could look for a nice piece of English Cheese or a slice of bacon from a local Flitch.
To wean Mr Stringer off " a nice steak pie, or even meat and potato" , it is suggested he move to the "Island" and exist on the limited fare available and re-calibrate his palate. He will feel the better for it.
QED.
