I Wonder

Should the following annoy me?

I was out with someone, who basically derided (unintentionally) a friend Z, when she asked in astonishment "You haven't eaten escargot? I thought everyone eats escargot." I think what bugged me the most, besides the fact that she didn't realize that Z comes from a family that is poorer than hers, was that her question was asked in full and blissful innocence. It reminded me of Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake."
