We got to pick out our TV dinners when my folks went out, a rare occasion. I always picked the turkey. I remember it took 45 minutes to cook which to an 8 or 9 year old was forever. |

Turkey or Fried Chicken with mashed spuds with the brownie as the desert. Veggies always got tossed as veggies are

As a kid they were a rare treat. And yes the Salisbury steak was my first choice. By the time I was living on them in college it was a treat to eat mom’s cooking on my trips home. To this day nothing beats mom’s cooking. I cherish it every opportunity.

In the 70s my mother cooked real food every night - didn't have a TV dinner until many years later. However, the Weird Food History YT channel has an interesting video on TV dinners.

They were all edible but not very good. I recall the mashed potatoes always tasting like freezer burn and the deserts tasing like aluminum foil.

Swanson used to make a German TV dinner. Sauerbraten, red cabbage, spätzle, and a strudel for dessert. I went thru those like Sherman thru Georgia.

Libbyland kid’s TV dinners. There was a pirate one, a cowboy one, and a scuba diver meal if I remember right. Don’t remember the food so much, but they came with flavored milk packets, and you never knew if you were going to get grape, chocolate, or strawberry.

Quoted: This was exactly how we felt. The whole family, eating on our trays, watching The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, or Apples Way. Whatever it was, it was an awesome nights dinner. Wish Mom & Dad were still here. The simpler days. I miss them. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: For me, it was anything with a hamburger steak and mashed potatoes This was a real treat for us growing up, it was like going out to eat without leaving the house https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9c/80/f8/9c80f806cb75ba2ad680ae60ef66c091.png This was exactly how we felt. The whole family, eating on our trays, watching The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, or Apples Way. Whatever it was, it was an awesome nights dinner. Wish Mom & Dad were still here. The simpler days. I miss them. @Jodi Funny you mention TV trays. When I would visit my grandmother and stay with her for a while, she lived in a very old country house, built in 1915, no AC, no heat, one electrical circuit in the entire house. She would cook me supper that would be home made french fries, bacon and eggs and we would eat in the living room on TV trays, watching TV. Every so often she would fix a TV diner for us. But she was a much better cook, in fact the best cook period, I learned from her. I miss my grandmother so very much, she has been gone 22 years and I still think about her everyday. I close my eyes and I am back with her at her house waking up to the rooster next door crowing. |

OP, I too loved the hamburger steak-type meals the most.

Swanson of course. Good stuff right there ?? |
