    I don’t have the article to share but it said that during ww2 the food industry has to overcome a lot of challenges to feed the troop. It cost a lot of money in research and as the war stop, most of it was useless. So they try to sell those recipes to civilians has a convenient way too cook quicker. They succeed because a large proportion of women worked for the war effort and kinda like the financial freedom.between the lack of time to cook and the modernist hype those war recipe thrive. Kinda like to get the link tho.

      Also Gelatin was a really laborious process (aka, luxury) until jello came along, and yeah the total convenience thing. The whole era of convenience foods producing some amazing barf is something else.
