I worked with a woman who kept saying "mackerel" when we were talking
about recipes for salmon croquettes/patties/fish cakes. At the time,
the price difference was only about 10 or maybe 15 cents per can. But
hey, she was raised using canned mackerel. (NOTE: I've never been able
to make canned mackerel taste anything like canned salmon.)

As for the kitchen, I really don't see anything overly fancy about it.
I see 20-somethings on HGTV expecting starter homes with kitchens much
more fancy than that one.
