And the Oscar for the best TV dinner goes to 🥁…

Here’s the annual mieng kum, or miang kham, from our very first — now almost 28 year old — Thai cookbook.

Savory-sweet shrimp paste based relish is flavored with galangal, fish sauce, roasted shallots, and coconut. It complements the fixings — roasted peanuts, shallots, roasted shaved coconut, dried shrimp, chopped lime, Thai Dragon peppers, and ginger — that go into leaf wraps beautifully. Each bite is a surprise with different levels of hot, and sweet, and salty, and sour, and umami.

An interactive meal that is hard to beat.

@krutonium Even if it's just a 15' break to take a piss and grab a new drink, #nachos, #popcorn or ice would be fine.

Personally, the coolest thing a #cinema could come up with is if they had airliner-style tray tables and people could basically order a fancy "#TVdinner" style plate to get served whilst watching or at like the 2nd half...
- But that's just me knowing that this isn't a challenge with #catering and like with an #airline this can be done with minimal equipment and staff onsite...

Wait, I guess what I know as Salisbury Steak always was frozen, anyway.

(must come in a metal tray. One of the compartments must still be frozen, and another one so hot you can't eat it).

People from Gen X dearly miss their Swanson frozen dinners. Here's why they disappeared.

Writing Nostalgia on a Cold Rainy Day 🌧️📺

One of my fondest memories from the late ’50s and early ’60s is the “TV dinner.” While my mom was an incredible cook, on busy nights those foil-tray meals brought comfort, convenience, and a touch of excitement to the Smith household.

It seems that in commercial and most restaurant sauces the degree of heat rises proportionately with the amount of salt — the hotter the sauce the saltier it is.

We love spicy food but do feel the salt. With that, now if there’s a commercial sauce, I go for the mildest version and doctor it up myself. There are so many ways that, besides the heat, create different flavor combinations!

Here’re traditional Frank’s Buffalo — the only commercial buffalo without added sugar — amped by Kashmiri powder. Nice color, interesting flavor, and pleasant heat.

During the last movie night, these wings flew. Pun intended.
