They'll defrost in the heat and you'll be left with soggy pancakes.

This was one ofvthe first threads I got involved in on Urban. I remember the photo of the pancakes with the arty chip tower and ketchup swish

I hope it’s still on here.

No, we should be thankful he's seen sense (finally).

There was never any coming back for Findus after the 2013 horse meat scandal. I wonder how much horse we ate with their minced beef pancakes.

Horse is a good lean meat

At best that's utterly delusional...

the horse meat was at least tasty

Am I wrong in remembering you could do them in the toaster? Might have taken longer than toast.
Looking at articles about the new ones, they say they used to be cooked in the microwave, surely that can't be right?

I think that was something else - you’d be chancing them leaking out the fold in a toaster - Shallow frying or grilling was the way back then, frying got the golden colour/crispy best but grilling meant you got a detachable layer of breadcrumbs, then the “pancake“ (ie white carby substance) then filling.

I have a vague memory that late-on, they may have switched to a pre-coloured/larger crumb breadcrumb layer when microwaves became common because if you did the originals in the microwave, they looked really pale, floppy and unappetising but back then the newness of junk food cooked truly in seconds meant that some folk did anything, suitable for microwave or not - eg frozen burgers, which were utterly vile!

I remember the mince ones being pretty decent - at least in the original form.

I think I would have worded it differently, yes.

"Perfection. Improved."

Something along those lines.

I am now seriously considering seeking-out a packet.

Or should I leave my memories way-back then?

Maybe wait for the report that Badgers is allegedly making and decide then?
