Spam and cheese toasties are delicious though.

I remember cans of spam, I wonder did you like brawn too!!! I was always disappointed with the amount of mushrooms in the chicken and mushroom pancakes, but this thread has me trying to figure out how to make them.

Very simple to make
Rustle up a few breadcrumbs and give your dog a laxative.

I remember them being in Dunnes not long ago. Haven't had them in 10 years, they were awful.

They were rancid alright and could require a skin graft for your tongue afterwards. I don't miss them at all.....

But what I DO miss that just dissappeared was "Bagel Bites" ... Boxes of 9 mini bagels with pizza toppings.... Heavenly.

I loved them as a child wish I could find them now.

I would never do such a thing to my little doggie:eek::eek::eek::eek::D

It's so funny though, we used to love them as children, yet as grown up's we think the same as our parents thought of them "pure and utter muck"

Back in the day when toasted sandwich makers first came out, toasted tomatoes were lethal. Would scald the roof of the mouth something awful.

There was nothing more lethal in the fridge, or anything that scalded your tastebuds into a week long hibernation worse, than a toasted easi-singles sandwich eaten too soon. Think they still use this as a torture technique in some parts of the world despite the UN strictly banning their use for torture and/or B.D.S.M.

Findus crispy pancakes were up there as well, we used to cut one open and dry all the washing over it as we waited for it to cool down.

On Topic; I had my fair share of Findus Crispy Pancakes as a young fella. They probably have gone scarce and are hard to find now, I wouldn't know though because I'm never on the look-out for the rancid hell-spawned lava canisters.

I regularly buy them in marks and spencers.

For the more discerning upmarket shopper:D

They are in short supply because stocks are now sent to Guantanamo to "feed" the prisoners there.

I've got a craving for them now. Yum yum yum.

Yum

Can still get them, see them in Dunnes all the time.

Didn't the Crispy Pancakes get caught up in the Shergar meat scandal?

They may be scarce but as hard to find as Shergar; That sounds unlikely.

Oh you mean't the contents ! ! !

We don't tolerate Findus Crispy Pancakes nowadays in the same way that we don't tolerant en masse drink driving or Ian Dempsy on television.

Jeez the Germans are having a bigger impact than I thought (heading towards a facist state)

Something just has to be done ! ! !

Could someone just leave a note for Enda:rolleyes:

I had brawn served to me, whether I liked it or not is a different matter :pac:

They are still available, I had some about two months ago maybe, mince and onion flavour, think they were Findus too, or Green Isle perhaps. Would have got them in my local Dunnes.

You say this like it's the same thing.

It is not.

BlimpyBoy

I'd say most of the additives and chemicals that were added to them in the 80s/90s are now banned which is why they are now ****e.

Those delicious, delicious chemicals.

keano_afc

They were awesome, but nigh on impossible to cook properly. "Shallow" fry? Yeah right. You end up with a soggy greasy thing thats like eating a fried nappy. A full one. Grill? All that happened then was the outside went solid and the filling was like ice.

Get it right though, and wow.

valoren

New Findus Crispy Pancakes.
Now with added Vitamin D, Niacin and Cancer.

whiskeyman

I used to spew all the meat and onion filling out of them by squeezing it out through an incision made with a knife... and then would eat all the pancake bit sans filling.

Don't worry, I'd still eat the filling by itself...

Like early 2000's was the last time I recall seeing it.

edit - microwave bacon was the biggest disappointments of my life.

Findus crispy pankes, my staple diet throughout the 1980's.
They were molten scutter in a deep fried beer mat that was only made palatible by the promise of some delicious Angel Delight for desert.....

Lia_lia

Googled them...yuck! Now I know why I've never seen/heard of them before....

OldNotWIse

I wouldn't even bother with them tbh. I bought a pack about 4 years ago and they tasted like shíte. Probably had all the nice stuff taken out of them by EU Regulations to protect the children or some other bullshít.

You haven't lived until you've scalded the mouth off yourself with a crispy pancake!!!

You can easily recreate them by stapling together two pieces of sandpaper and filling it with rancid pus.

I was just drinking a lovely cup of black tea when I read the above and I actually spat it out. That is the most horrific description of food ever. I feel ill:(

Food? Who said anything about food?

Menas

Back in the day Findus crispy pancakes were just that. Crispy filled pancakes that tasted yummy and had a lovely texture.
The modern day version is a sad soggy sloppy mass of nothingness.

Love them,but they have to be let cool down.I burnt my mouth once and learnt my lesson.Wasn't foolish enough to it a second time.

Really want a Crispy Pancake now.

Yeah, they are still available. Ham and mushroom, or some sort. Taste like muck these days though.

This +1 had them recently because I saw them in Centra. Tasted rank. nothing like they used to.

The findus ones havnt changed all that much tbh,the range of flavours is a lot small though.They still pretty much taste the same, i think people just develop different tastes as they age

There was very like ciracadian typed more air than filling
