National TV Dinner Day

A TV dinner is a pre-packaged frozen meal that was originally designed to be heated and served in the tray it came in, often while watching television. It usually consists of a main course, such as meat or fish, vegetables, and a starchy side, such as mashed potatoes, all separated into different compartments within the tray. TV dinners were introduced in the 1950s and became popular due to their convenience and ease of preparation. They are still available today and have evolved to include a wider variety of meal options.
