This strikes me as a typical lunch from the 1950s/early 1960s. It would make sense in that context. I think it would be pretty tasty; the issue is that the soup would probably be canned and the cheese American, on Wonder Bread.
An example that occurs to me is when someone gets angry and throws a plate, cup, glass or sometimes china bric-a-brac against a wall or on the floor. Honestly, you get the sense that people are constantly shuffling through broken crockery.
