I'm sure it's still done all over, but coffee with a Swanson TV dinner just doesn't seem all that grand. I'd rather have a glass of milk instead. |

I think black coffee goes with anything...when I ate ice cream I used to love a black coffee with an ice cream sundae ;-) |

I am all over that recipe for refrigerator brownie cookies!
Coffee with meals: I never want a hot beverage with my meal. Iced coffee or tea, no problem. Didn't realize this was true of me 'til I was at a friend's for lunch last week and he served coffee with a ham sandwich and potato salad. Coffee after the meal or later with dessert, please. |

I'm guessing here...but I'm wondering if that coffee pot is not about having coffee with your TV dinner, but more about adding a "homey" touch to suggest that Swansons is as good as homemade. I notice that the coffee pot appears to have wear and tear (although that could be wear or a flaw in the printed ad) which, in my mind, adds to that homey feeling.
Likewise, they could have pictured the TV dinner with a bottle of wine with a French label to suggest that it's top-grade cooking. Even if a closer realistic wine match might be be something Californian with a screw top. |

Could be all these things but it may just be the fashion at the time. I'd go with the 'this looks like Grandma's coffee pot so it's supposed to evoke 'homey' feelings.' |

Joe-- I think you're right. Serving coffee as the beverage with a meal was more common in yesteryear. My parents (married 1946) had/served coffee with meals. I'm relatively new to coffee; didn't start drinking it 'til I was nearly 40. And the friend I had lunch with who served coffee with the meal is a good twenty years older than me.
Remember when people always put a little relish tray with pickles and pickled beets on the table? This post was last edited 08/10/2012 at 19:45 |

My parents had coffee with dinner, or sometimes after dinner with desert. I prefer hot tea with dinner, but ice tea will do in a pinch. I do not like milk. I only use it in a bowl of cereal. I probably haven't had a glass of milk in over 20 years. |

I've always liked TV dinners. I have a freezer full of them even as we speak.
In 1964 one of the few things I knew how to cook from scratch was fried chicken. Too much work and mess for one meal for one person, so I made a batch of drumsticks and put them in recycled TV dinner trays with frozen peas and corn, made my own. Pritdang resourceful for a college freshman. Better and cheaper than Swanson's, which were 79c at the time. Really quite expensive, considering Banquet TVDs are only a dollar today. |

Dr. Pepper: My first experience with the good Dr. was circa 1964, when I was in kindergarten. My high school-age sister had friends over after a football game, and she heated a saucepan of Dr. Pepper, which was advertised as a hip-young-generation replacement for stodgy old hot apple cider. After some insistence on my part, she poured a steaming ladleful into my little A&W Root Beer mug. I took a few swallows and it came right back up, all over the kitchen floor. I would not go near Dr. Pepper again until my 30's, when I tried some--perhaps more sensibly--on ice.
Arbilab-- I like your idea for homemade TV dinners. We're old enough to remember when they had to be heated in a regular oven, LOL! |

Those Nabisco Bacon Thins... I could eat half a box in 10 minutes. They were bursting with articicial bacon flavor goodness...and those boxed pizza kits, fun although you had to stretch the stingy crust tissue-paper thin to make a 12" pie, and that sawdust-like little packet of cheese wasn't too flavorful. Do they still have those? As a child I remember radio ads for Dr Pepper mentioning the 10-2-4 thing like it was medicine or some kind of tonic. Did anyone ever drink Dr Pepper 3 times a day?...maybe since it was "the friendly picker-upper." I guess that "Bolt" stuff is today's equivalent.

Wow! I didn't realize that Swanson's started putting deserts in their frozen dinners as early as 59! I thought it was a 70's thing. |
