The folks in this thread are misinterpreting the comment. It's not that someone from 1970 wouldn't understand the concept; it's that they would rightfully think that it's stupid and judge you for putting up with it.
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.
Normally these aspic dishes look vile but I might be able to get down with this one, provided the contents were cooked well.
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 as the worst cook in the family and my grandpa was known for mixing all his food together “because it’s all going to the same place anyway”…

It was 'subtle' punishment for abusive husbands.
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.

Can confirm, have boomer parents who wonder wtf is wrong with everyone just freely giving up all their personal data to the people they spent 15 years being drilled not to give their information to.
On the other hand;
“I don’t care because I have nothing to hide.” - My mother, born 1961, when told she should stop using Chrome.
Neither do I. But why give up something I don't have to? If it's valuable to someone else, I should at least get some compensation for it.
