whos idea was it to make waffles with patatoes?

"Birdseye potato waffles.... Waffle-y versatile!"

Well here's a thing then...

A few years back when I had a day job our firm did the control systems for Findus, specifically the crispy pancake lines. There's software I wrote responsible for those abominations.

Sorry about that.

Well out of the meagre four pancakes in the box, three had a substantial not-quite-like-cheese-substance leakege when oven-cooked. Something wrong with the sealing process?

I'm off to make some real food now. Sea bass.

Timing's probably off a bit on the fold axis.

It'll be French bread pizzas next and Giles will have an embolism.

The seepage is common and was an old feature too as I recall hence Rik was probably asked to code it

They were ace, and made in the hall next door to the crispy pancakes.

Who made up the Findus range? Must have been at some point in the 60s. Let's make a range of really unlikely food-kind of shit! Yeah. Let's. Exhales.

They were bloody awkward actually as there was a precisely timed motor that had to literally pick up the leading edge and precisely fold it over on itself on a moving conveyor. The next operation would then crimp to seal around the edges. Any tiny inconsistencies in the batter mix or the position down the line would mean it didn't fold properly and hence the crimp wouldn't hold.

There was a vision system that was supposed to pick up on any that weren't formed properly and reject them but there were always loads that would get through that weren't sealed properly.

Bread topped with tomatoey sauce and then cheese recipe.


Get a part baked roll and bake as instructed

Just before the baking time has elapsed, cut the roll open and separate into two lengths.

Lightly toast the insides

Top first with salsa and then with cheese (Doritos hot salsa and Jarlsberg are fine choices)

Press down on lengths of bread so bread, salsa and cheese are more compact

cook until cheese is thoroughly melted
