Roasted turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, and peas. Made in 1954.
1953. Turkey, corn bread dressing, peas, sweet potatoes. It was a foil divided container, with foil over the top, tightly crimped. Later they began to seal them better. You could open your box and find your food had slid into the outer box.
This meal resembled an airplane meal. More of a snack size. Later they said the shape of the meal container looked like the television boxes of the 50's.
This was back when television was soon to enter people's homes. NBC, CBS, ABC were not in every part of the country, larger populated cities got all 3. So, to enjoy programming, just about every house had a set of TV tray tables. There are many homes of elderly who still have these. They came in sets of four, you folded them correctly and you had a stand within the 4 that were part of the living room furniture!
ANYWAY--
When TV dinners (in the 60s) would go on sale, maybe $.50 each, my mom would buy it for the treat of the week. There were 5 of us kids. Fried chicken and turkey were the two we got.
