I Don't Know...

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.

Swanson with coffee

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.

It may also be fashion at the time

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.'

Coffee with meals...

My parents were married in 1954, and during my years of growing up, coffee was made and served with the evening meal, and special meals such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I wonder if it was a 1950s thing, or perhaps earlier - something my mother experienced when she was growing up? I remember my grandmother serving coffee with all three meals.

Then again, perhaps it is a family thing.

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: 8/10/2012-19:45]

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.

Relish tray on the table...

Oh, I sure do remember when a relish tray was placed on the table. In my china closet, I have a cut glass relish plate that was my great grandmother's. Along with that, I also have her cut glass "goblet" (for lack of a better term), that my grandmother always placed on the table with scallions, or "green onions," as we called them, when they were in season.

While my parents weren't fond of me drinking coffee as a child, I did develop a taste for the drink early on, because as a little kid, my grandmother would make coffee soup for me - a slice of home made bread, in a bowl, swimming in sweet coffee with fresh cream from her cow.

Nowadays, I drink a pot of coffee in the morning, and have a glass of water or milk with lunch and supper.
