3. One year we did Hungry Man Turkey Dinners and gaming all day.

Just the two of us.

Best. Thanksgiving. Ever.

4. The "freezing compartment" of your refrigerator?

Not freezer?

[sandensea]

5. Yeah. In the icebox.

Don't chaknow.

[NJCher]

14. and did you notice

the freezing compartment was neatly packed with only Swanson TV dinners. Lined up, back to back

Bet that was just swell!

[sandensea]

15. It's a gas!

[marybourg]

10. Yep. That's all it was then, for most

people, a freezing compartment.

12. That's good to know!

I don't buy them anymore, but now I have even more reason not to buy them.

7. the only Thanksgiving dinner I can truly remember as a kid

and we had big TG dinners every year, but the only one that stuck in my mind, was my fav, was sliced turkey and gravy dinner from a tin they we had in our up north, one room cabin.

8. Those were a treat when we were kids.

We all survived, 3 of us are good cooks, one is married to a good cook. 😀

9. Loved em as a kid! With lots of brothers hogging the serving dishes usually, this 'portion control'

was fine by me, no matter that the "food" was a bit lacking in the flavor department. Not having to grab whatever was in front of you (even if it was just the peas) in hopes of getting something before all was snarfed up by the faster grabbers at the table...

I was extra thrilled when they later added a dessert section to the metal tray. The main and sides portions were reduced to make room, but man, having that dessert right there...waiting for you, no matter how slowly you ate...HEAVEN.

13. I loved them as a kid too!

And yes, the dessert was what I liked the most. When you're a kid your taste buds aren't very sophisticated.

11. We ate these in my childhood. I thought they were okay. But in those days I liked Chef Boy-R-Dee so

that means I would basically eat anything (except liver, oysters and mushrooms). As far as the TV dinners, I liked the turkey, roast beef and salisbury steak. I got sick once after eating the fried chicken dinner, although I don't think it was related because everyone else was unaffected. Regardless I never could eat that one again.


I probably haven't had a TV dinner in at least 30 years, maybe more. But thanks for the OP. Brought back some memories.

16. I liked the turkey TV dinners too BUT

I thought they should have had more cranberry sauce.

But I liked pot pies better - "Were you poor? Did you eat chicken pot pie?" -Jackie O, "The House of Yes." My response would have been, "Yes I ate chicken pot pie, you disturbed incestuous woman, and I LIKED it. And I STILL like it. In fact, I may have some tonight."
