    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    The current Green Isle ones should be banned

    I'll never forgot my first microchip experience.
    Most disappointing food ever! So much hype... so much disappointment!
    Rotten soggy yokes!

    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.....

    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 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:(

    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.

    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.
