Findus Crispy Pancakes

[Orava]

I was never short of Pot Noodles... .

Nobody is ever short of Pot Noodles. It's a fundamental impossibility. You can have none of them, or too many. Anything else doesn't add up.

.. it CAN happen ..

It CAN even happen you manage to throw away Ramen because they are too far off their expiry date ( some years later ).

About pot noodles "Bombay Bad Boy" or "Shin Cup" and/or nothing else.

Ramen is Ramen, you won't have other Ramen than Ramen.

Ramen ( and cup noodles ) are some of those flavours that sometime you just need.

Apart from those two the only other "emergency food supply" I have a certain fondness for is SPAM and Heinz beans.

Mmmm Heinz Spaghetti Bolognese. I know it is neither spaghetti nor bolognese but there is something special about that concoction.

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

French bread pizza FTW! I must have eaten my bodyweight of these when growing up - probably 10+ years since I last had one.

[gravy]

FUCK YOU

FUCK EVERYONE

These are nice foods!

To be pedant also I don't think it's correct to call "pancakes" the Findus ones, they are more "crepes" then dipped into
breadcrubms and such.

I'd say a pancacke is closer to a scone as a crepe is closer to an omelette.

I think that given the shape and the feeling those Findus things are a kind of "approximation" of a real french omelette but
made to be ready fried/baked/warmed up.

Also we all know that pancakes has to be consumed with maple syrup

maple syrup AND bacon.

Findus pancakes, yip the minced beef and onion ones.........

These were not good, have had the vesta curry as well, pretty bad.

used to get hamburgers already made up that you microwaved, cant remember what they were/are called though, i'm sure i have seen them in the supermarket though.

TGG

I don't know what that wink is for, that's an actual scientific fact. Every time a sweet pancake is eaten without maple syrup and bacon a cute baby explodes violently.

Crêpes, however... Mmm, spinach and ham. But for some reason most crêpe vendors in Yorkshire look at you like you asked them to take a shit on you if you ask if they do savoury fillings. Shifty fuckers.

[Orava]

Nonsense. Everyone knows that pancakes are to be eaten with strawberry jam.

[gilesgoat]

You know what ?

I could try a cooking experiment this week end and do some - real - crepes flled with things, breadcrumbed and fried/baked
or such .. never tried .. could be my first .. ( I mean never tried to do this kind of stuff from scratch myself ).

Make it fucking massive and upload it to here

Arctic roll

Or not

Well, apparently they have resumed production of this fine dessert

I'm pretty sure they never stopped production. I quite often see the wretched things in the frozen desserts aisle. I avoid them because I'm not a big fan of plain ice cream, and the cakey outer isn't that great either.

i always preferred the vesta chow mein to the curry.

i like the little crispy noodle things you had to deep fry

Fray Bentos next? What should Orava feed to the children? And what are these 'French Pizza Breads' ?

French bread pizzas are (were) great. I think they're made by Findus too - you should be able to find them in the pizza aisle of any good frozen food retailer.

They are basically short halved baguettes topped with cheese and tomato.

I had a retro-meal recently: Findus crispy pancakes, potato waffles and Heinz spaghetti hoops, and a Birds Eye Supermousse for dessert.

Lovely.

Mrs ShadowTail, who grew up in South Africa and did not experience these 'delights' the first time round, was not particularly impressed.
