We are all a little nostalgic for TV dinners, the peeling back of the foil, the tongue-burning hot apple desserts that we would always eat first.
In 1954, Swanson revolutionized the American meal with its TV Dinner. The frozen, three-compartment platter was the bomb when I was a kid. Plus my parents had some nifty TV Trays so we could watch TV and eat (ONLY if we behaved). This was my FAV to eat. At least the aluminum trays came packaged in a nifty box that looked like a television, with the U.S.D.A. seal and price emulating knobs.
At first, the selection offered the staples — turkey, beef, chicken. But the industry quickly branched out, giving people a taste of “International” cuisine.
Have a GREAT day on PURPOSE
