Capitalism is wonderful.
Oh pleeeeec....buy a few chickens or a ham or fish or rib roast and enjoy.
Um.....no.
Ick.
I’ll have my turkey, potatoes, etc. the old fashioned way.
Hey you never know. This would be a great addition to a prepper’s inventory.
I can find a wild Turkey if need be.
Turkey dinners in a can date back to at least the 1940’s. This is nothing new.
Aside from being too salty these dinners can be tasty and easy to prepare especially for elderly people who live alone.
I think that’s called Dog Food.
Those Brits are bloody insane.
Years ago, the US Army had an interesting solution to Thanksgiving dinner in the field. Imagine giant TV dinners.
That is, one very large rectangular aluminum tray with sliced turkey and gravy, with a heavy aluminum foil lid. Enough for 30 men. Another tray or two with stuffing. Another with mashed potatoes. etc. And the zinger was that if the unit has 31 men, the number of ration trays, of everything, was doubled.
“It is a real ‘hog’s bait’,” I remember someone saying.
Actually, in a smaller sense, I can see a family sized version of this - parts of which are already being sold.
While you can get microwaveable sliced turkey in gravy, it is not enough for say 5 or 6 people. However, the mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, glazed apple slices, etc. are already there.
I have the turkey breast in the freezer and will be using homegrown veggies to go with it.
It will be my usual from scratch meal and awesome as usual.
If I only have a bunch of potatoes to share with my family and friends that’s good enough for me.
BTW we got thousands of uber fat canadian greese roaming NC and I got BBs and arrows so sssshhhhh:-)
