TV Dinner Day

TV Dinner Day is a holiday when there is no need to stand at the stove and cook dinner, because you can buy it. This wonderful day is celebrated every year on September 10, but it is absolutely not necessary to wait a whole year to try a TV dinner.

History

The idea of ​​the first television dinner belongs to the company CA Swanson & Sons. The first television dinner consisted of turkey, beans, bread, and sweet potatoes. By the time this format of food sales appeared, frozen meat was already being sold quite actively, and soon technologies for freezing vegetables and fruits appeared. Thus, the menu of television dinners became diverse and allowed families to gather at the table (or in front of the television) and not spend time preparing meals.

Interesting Facts

• The first methods of freezing proved to be a failure, as the products quickly lost their taste and aroma.
• Clarence Birdseye came up with an innovative method of freezing fish. This method was then used for vegetables and meat. This is how food was frozen during World War II.
• In the middle of the last century, the couple Albert and Meyer Bernstein founded Frozen Dinners Inc. and sold groceries in Pittsburgh.

How to take part
