Default Re: choked on a foie gras

Hello Ouisch, I wonder if it could mean that since ponchos were already fashionable in the 70's and they are now again in fashion, those who wore them back in the seventies wouldn't want to be seen in a poncho now. They'd rather be dead (the 'choking part') than be seen wearing a poncho. As the saying goes, if you wore it the first time round, you're too old to wear it the second time.
I perfectly understand your point of view and it probably is intended in that way.
