TV Dinner Day

TV Dinner Day is a holiday when there is no need to cook dinner because you can just buy it. This wonderful day is every year on September 10, offering a convenient and quick meal solution.

History

The concept of the first television dinner can be credited to CA Swanson & Sons. The initial offering included turkey, beans, bread, and sweet potatoes. At the time these meals were introduced, frozen meats were already being sold, and soon after, technologies for freezing vegetables and fruits were developed. This diversification in the menu allowed families to quickly prepare meals and spend more time together, often in front of the television.

Interesting Facts

• Early methods of freezing were not successful as they often resulted in loss of taste and aroma in the foods.
• Clarence Birdseye developed an innovative method for freezing fish, which was later applied to vegetables and meats, revolutionizing food preservation during World War II.
• In the mid-20th century, Albert and Meyer Bernstein founded Frozen Dinners Inc., selling frozen meals in Pittsburgh.
