Yeah, but they weren't as common as they are today. There were pubs and eateries before also, but again, not so common. My point was that much of what was done "then" in one's house are now done elsewhere. Some, of course, aren't done and I'm not sure they're quite so popular.

And I assume the pertinent discussion is what happened/changed in the western world post WW II.

Wait until they find out "coffee shops" preceded "coffee at home"
