    I bought a pack of the Findus ones a few months back.

    The outside was like cardboard and there was about a spoonful of filling inside.

    I love these! I made the river cottage ones a few years ago as I try to stay away from processed stuff now days but they weren't quite the same. Just before the horse meat scandle I was coming home from a house party and It was about 4am, wandered into a 24hr centra and bought a packet of the mince ones. Brought em home and ate the whole packet piping hot sitting on the floor beside the oven. Utter bliss.

    I think they were best appreciated within the smorgasbord of 70s domestic poverty when things like Crispy Pancakes, Pot Noodles and Instant Mash were affordable yet futuristic snacks.

    Real luxury is when you make the Instant Mash with milk instead of water. Super creamy mash......yum.

    Another blast from the past is Spice Burgers. Still sold and not nearly as nice as I remember from childhood.

    Yeah, Crispy Pancakes, Smash and Angel Delight for afters was a 1980's dinner alright. God only knows the cavalcade of weird chemicals ingested via all that stuff!

    No food allowed in dorms.
    Early morning wakeup punishment for being up after lights out.

    Sorry, Harry Potter lied to you. :pac:

    They still have dorms out there? We had shared rooms of 4 or 2 to a room 4 for the younger girls, 2 girls to a room for the last two years.

    I was boarding for 2 1/2 years out of the 6. Started secondary in 2004.

    1st year - 5 in a dorm
    2nd year - about 15
    3rd year - 11

    Coming up to Christmas in 3rd year, I just thought f*ck this.

    I think you were sent to prison and were told it was school. :)
    I thought dorms were a thing of the past, never mind ones with 15 or 11 in them! Four was the max to a room in my school (UK, which maybe made a difference).

    That very quickly became my understanding of it. :pac:

    The other 4 I shared the dorm with in first year, did it for the whole 6 years. So did my sister, mixed school obviously.

    To go back on topic slightly, the food was pretty awful. Especially for lunch on Friday. Sausages and chips. I do not want to know what was in them.

    The pancake part just doesn't taste the same as I remember from my childhood.

    Anyone remember the curry ones

    That's because they removed all the delicious artificial flavorings because of dem damn liberals and their health conscious ways.
