Steak for breakfast reminds me of the steak breakfeasts volunteers fighting in 1970s Rhodesia had - the economy was completely out of whack due to the sanctions, and beef originally produced for export had either to be sold cheap locally or not sold at all.

Seven F.N.s lean against the wall. We are in the dining room of the hotel having breakfast. Most of us are eating steak and eggs. Sanctions have made cars, guns, and aircraft very expensive, but fertile fields and huge ranches in Rhodesia insure that food prices remain low. Breakfast costs about 60 cents.
