1. I rather have Pizza!

[ohiosmith]

2. My fav!

[HopeHoops]

5. You do know that salisbury steak is just scrapple in sauce, right?

[Liberal Veteran]

8. The chicken is obtained from defects at the shoe factory.

[HopeHoops]

10. Yeah, that really just brings the sun right out.

[OriginalGeek]

21. I like scrapple too!

but only like once a year at most


I can feel it giving me gout with every bite.

[HopeHoops]

22. I used to love it (fried with syrup). I quit meat entirely in '89.

[OriginalGeek]

23. I've been cutting back

unfortunately, I think I'm replacing the meat with just as unhealthy other things. I'll make a big salad for dinner and not have anything else but I use a lot of dressing and throw in olives and croutons and sometimes some tuna or a few slices of pepperoni and cheese and I doubt it's doing me any good. I've been doing this for about a week and half and I'm getting grumpy at dinner-time lol...at elast I have cut out almost all bread for a while...I doubt I will stay with that though. I love bread.

[ashling]

46. Just in case you didn't know,

pepperoni is meat, so replacing meat with pepperoni is not replacing it with "just as unhealthy other things" It is replacing it with just as unhealthy the same thing. sorta kinda.

[OriginalGeek]

48. lol!

yep - i meant in the cutting back way as far as Pepperoni goes. A few slices of that is way less meat than I would ordinarily eat at a normal supper.

Compared to the number of green olives and the quarts of Green Goddess dressing, the pepperoni hardly register..

I tried some no-calorie asian sesame/ginger dressing but I didn't like it. The flavor was weird. Walden? Waldorf's? SOmethign with a W.


Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

THAT's probably what made it suck. The W.

[Kaleva]

3. Kind of a pain as I have to have 3-4 of them for a decent meal for myself

[HopeHoops]

6. I trust you jest.

[Kaleva]

15. No

For many years, I ate one meal a day and that was in the evening so when I did eat, it was like combining breakfast, lunch and dinner into one meal.

I know that's not healthy and I'm trying to improve my eating habits by having apples, carrots and/or celery during the day but I don't eat them 'cause I'm hungry, I'm not, I eat them so I don't consume so much food at one time in the evening.

[HopeHoops]

17. Well, to be fair, I've gone several days without food because I couldn't swallow.

So far it hasn't killed me, but one day it might.

[Liberal Veteran]

4. The microwave makes it worse.

By the time the meat is heated through, the vegetables have experienced a mutation incident from being nuked so thoroughly that they are unrecognizable.

[HopeHoops]

7. That's what a nuke box is for.

[HappyMe]

9. I have a couple of Stouffer's

dinners in the freezer. They are pretty damn good.

[HopeHoops]

11. Yeah, it's also a Republican-owned company. Don't buy it again or I'll have to spank you.

No, not in that way. Pervert.

[HappyMe]

12. sigh!

I can't keep up with all the damn boycotts.

[HopeHoops]

13. They do make a killer veggie lasagne, but I won't buy it anymore.

I used to buy all Marcal products until I found out that Koch owned them. I switched to Scott's - no political affiliation.

[Arazi]

32. Stouffer's Fettuccini Alfredo, yum! I confess there's always a box of that in the freezer

for those days I get home just too late to cook.

[RedCloud]

14. Radio Dinner was pretty "tasty" as I recall.

[Taverner]

16. ....do not exist anymore

The "Tv Dinner" is specifically a frozen meal, but it MUST be put in a metal container. Microwave safe means Microwave Meal, not TV Dinner

[Kaleva]

18. When's the last time you got invited to a party? 1972?

Just kidding!

[Ptah]

24. nope.

A TV dinner (also called a frozen dinner, frozen meal, microwave meal, or ready meal)
is a prepackaged frozen or chilled meal that usually comes as an individual portion.
It requires very little preparation and contains all the elements for a single-serving meal.

[Taverner]

28. Wikipedia LIES!!!!

A TV Dinner MUST, ABSOLUTELY, LOOK LIKE THIS!!!!!

[Ptah]

29. Serving suggestion:

[Tabasco_Dave]

58. That was my favorite!!!!

They don't make it anymore.

[newcriminal]

19. I haven't had one in years.

I don't look down on anyone who does though.

[HopeHoops]

20. I can honestly say I haven't eaten one in at least 35 years - and I'm only 49.

They always sucked.

[gvstn]

25. If you have the time

You can make your tv dinner up "fresh" rather than frozen.

[Denninmi]

26. Actually, I've been eating 3-4 Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers or Healthy Choice a week lately.

They're not horrible. Right now, my schedule is crazy I have to be out of the house many days by 5:15 in the morning, and some nights not home until 9:00.

Just no time to cook. It's nuts.

[MissMarple]

27. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better for you.

[Smuckies]

30. I found two pubic hairs in mine about 10 yrs ago

Wont eat em since.

[HopeHoops]

37. Damn. Only TWO? You got ripped off. USDA standards require at least six.

[Smuckies]

41. :-O

What!! I did get ripped off! >

[HopeHoops]

43. Yeah! Well how about "potted meat food product"? Think Dinty Moore beef stew here.

The USDA has a standard for that which dictates the minimum number of peas and carrot chunks per serving. The shit's gross to begin with, but why does it need a standard?

As for the TV dinner, most of them contain at least 9 pubic hairs just to be sure they are in compliance.

On Edit: Oh, and don't eat at Taco Bell. They exceed the minimum pubic hair requirements but not on purpose.

[Brother Buzz]

31. Get A Load Of This

Hat tip to Charley Jordan's - Keep It Clean

[warrprayer]

36. you beat me to it!!!

Damn I miss Doctor Demento

[HopeHoops]

38. FUCK THAT NOISE! EVERYBODY south of the Mason-Dixon knows RC only goes with MoonPies.

RC and Twinkies - bah. Bah.

Hell, most people haven't ever had an RC, or a Moxie for that matter. Their loss.

[Brother Buzz]

45. The boys who wrote that are native of Pasadena, California

and don't know shit about gourmet eating. Never mind Julia Child was from Pasadena, too.

For what it's worth, the serenader doing the caterwauling on that song has a Moxie sign hanging in his kitchen.

[HopeHoops]

47. Do they have moon pies in California?

Hell, I didn't even know you could get RC in California.

[Brother Buzz]

49. RC definitely! Moon Pies are an over priced novelty item we see only occasionally

Today, RC is no longer available in the 16 oz bottle, just in cans. Royal Crown is my go-to cola.

[MassedPole]

33. I got few Hungry Man dinners in my freezer.

Going to pick one for dinner tonight. To Nervous to cook.

[HopeHoops]

40. Grammar Police - "TOO nervous to cook". Worry thee not. Obama's got it in the bag.

Try some oatmeal or something. You don't want a case of the shits when Alaska's polls close (even though it will be over long before midnight ET).

[hifiguy]

34. Practically lived on the Swanson

Beef and Fish dinners between the ages of 12 and 14. That was so long ago Nixon was president.

[HopeHoops]

39. Nixon and beef and fish TV dinners. Why does that sound like a perfect match?

[hifiguy]

42. My family wasn't

that bad off during the reign of Tricky Dick, but I was in my "I only eat certain things" phase. For me it was TV dinners and spice cake with chocolate frosting. And I drank store-brand ginger ale or Moxie almost exclusively during the same time. Yes, you could get Moxie in Minnesota then. I was a weird tween and now I am a weird (certified Asperger's) adult.

[HopeHoops]

44. I get Moxie all the time around here. They even have a diet version now. Tastes the same.

[datasuspect]

50. I'm Fat

and I'm Nationwide

[HopeHoops]

51. Then there's Weird Al...

And ZZ Top of course...

[datasuspect]

52. Check it out on the Chevrolet one mo time

[HopeHoops]

53. Shit. That's before they grew out their beards and before I was allowed to go to rock concerts.

[datasuspect]

54. that's when frank beard still played drums

joking, he's still badass.

[Mr. Mojo Risen]

55. Never eat that crap!

Heavily processed, factory made food. Tastes horrible, horrible for you.

Just say no!

[HopeHoops]

56. Yes Mr. Morrison. Besides, I only get the veggie stuff. I don't do meat.

[orleans]

57. i remember the best vanilla pudding in the world

in tv dinners

omg it was good.

don't really recall much about the rest of them. corn ok, but that pudding was to die for.
