    Were crispy pancakes really a part of the 70s? I seem to remember them coming into my consciousness with a bang when they came out with a promotion for the black hole film, which was '79 so more the 80s really.

    Made the mistake of picking up the wrong ones, ended up with some chicken and sweetcorn mulch that looked and tasted like warm, thick vomit.

    My sister had them.

    It was the 80s. You took your literature about girls in short skirts where you could find it.

    I'm not that old!

    I actually read those books when I was in primary school. They may or may not have had anything to do with my agreeing to go to boarding school.

    I used the word 'Beastly' a lot for a long while afterwards.

    I never had them. Between that and not getting milk every day at school, what else have I missed out on?

    Yes, they are. :(

    If you read The Chalet School, it was more or less the same thing. More more than less. :)

    Funny thing is, maybe 90% of us here ate them in the 80's and 90's yet we are still here

    Yeah, but we had been brought up in the 70's on a diet of full fat everything. Fried meat and mashed potato at every dinner, except Good Friday, when you had fried fish. None of your soy latte business for us. Thinking back on it, a latte is what my mum used to make us when we'd get home from primary school in the Winter, she just called it 'milky coffee' though. We walked to school then as well, none of that wussy being chauffeured for us.:D

    Crispy pancakes...mmmmmm....

    Mate had a deep fat fryer in his garage because the wife didnt want it in the kitchen. Post pub saturday night, back to the garage for deep fried crispy pancakes, chips and whatever else was in the freezer. I can tell you that cutting into a deep fried crispy pancake when pissed left scars on your face.

    Woah woah woah woah.

    People need to be careful not to be flippant about this.

    Where still sells FINDUS crispy pancakes?

    None of your green isle nonsense now.

    I bought a pack of Green Isles one the other night, Triple Cheese.

    Now I'm not a food snob by any means - I'll eat anything, and these things in theory should have been delicious!

    Cooked them, looked good - ate one....the 'cheese' was an off color, almost grey, the coating was all rubbery and tasted like....nothing. It was like chewing some sort of non-edible substance.

    Absolutely vile. My housemate tried a piece and was repulsed, and he used to love crispy pancakes as a kid. Must have been something wrong with them.

    Thinking of actually writing to them just to ask them what went so wrong. I just can't believe that they were meant to taste like that.
