>If you're poor a cucumber sandwich just makes sense.

Backwards because the cucumber sandwich is a upper class meal. It is part of 'high tea' a mid afternoon snack that is light enough not to spoil you appetite for dinner. The cucumber sandwich was especially popular in the British Raj while ruling India, it was light and refreshing in the mid afternoon heat. Not something enjoyed by the working classes who had to work during the afternoon.
