Did anyone ever actually eat this sort of thing, or was it just the recipe book equivalent of a fashion show? Or perhaps it’s just regional. I sure as hell never ate that in the 70s.
Apparently my grandparents did in the 70s and thought themselves very futuristic for it. That being said my grandma is well known is the worst cook in the family and my grandpa was known for mixing all is food together “because it’s all going to the same place anyway”…
I feel like you’re grandfather would use one of those meal replacements that were developed for special forces but were abandoned for everyone but U2 pilots or something because they had the texture of wet sawdust.
That was just hold over food from the 50s. They were obsessed with gelatin back then, and plenty of them were still traumatizing us at family gatherings through the 80s.
The 70s might not want to throw shade…
This is the food equivalent of a liminal space, I do not like it and I wish to shed blood over it.

It was ‘subtle’ punishment for abusive husbands.
What’s holding it together?
Aspic
Normally these aspic dishes look vile but I might be able to get down with this one, provided the contents were cooked well.
That’s twice I’ve posted that this week.
