 Microwave meal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A microwave meal (also referred to as a frozen dinner, ready meal, or TV dinner because it is often eaten while watching TV) is a prepackaged, frozen meal which usually comes packaged in a flat cardboard box.
An example might be a chicken tikka masala meal, where the rice, chicken, and all other ingredients are prepackaged in a plastic tray.
These types of meals are rather popular in developed countries; for example, the United Kingdom spends £5 million a day on microwave meals, and it is the largest consumer of microwave meals in Europe.

One of the main differences between ready meals and HMR is that, certainly in the U.K, it solely the domain of supermarkets.
It consists of chilled food that can be re-heated at home, but where it differs from chilled ready meals is that HMR meals are sold as loose components that can be individually specified from a serve-over counter.

Four vegetarian meals are now included (two in each case), a new easy-open meal bag with commercial-like colors and graphics have been added, nutritional labeling implemented and application of Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) labels included on MRE ration cases.
