To ask if there’s a social class issue surrounding Findus Crispy Pancakes ?

[Jumell]

I’ve read some things in mine and sort of sense this might be the case but not 100% sure

Also is there a class issue around Fray Bentos pies ?

I love those !

........and possibly that you’re likely to be suicidal before you’re reduced to eating one

Harsh.

Frozen peas are ok if you’re middle class, surely?

Absolutely no idea. My mum only ever cooked from scratch and I've never had either. She even made chips.

Omega fish fingers dear

I'm working class. I've never had a Findus pancake and I don't like Fray Bentos pies. Probably because I've never been able to open the tin.

Any remembrance of French Bread Pizza?

I am in my late fifties and have never had either. Are they still available?

We had Findus Crispy Pancakes as one of our school lunches in my private school in the 80s. Golden Drummers too.

I used to love fray bentos pies & findus pancakes, they were quite the novelty for people brought up on basic British food, and very handy when camping.
We were brought up with school dinners of spam fritters, chicken supreme, semolina&rose hip syrup....tastes have changed somewhat.

I’ve also never heard of these two products or seen them. I can’t understand why pancake mix is sold- is it literally egg/flour/milk mixed together already? Seems like a lot of faff to me

Yes, because they're basically a folded cloth cap with a filling.

Used to love the ham and cheese ones with baked beans and chips

Damn those disabled people who want to make pancakes.

My extremely posh step grandmother (wore a tartan skirt and headscarf to climb hills) liked a Fray Bentos.
So I'll bet money on the Queen liking them.

Findus crispy pancakes used to be made in tyneside…I knew a girl who was the factory expert on them! She said the ones made for supermarket own brands were inferior to findus brand as findus used the best quality ingredients in their own.
Unfortunately the inferno in your mouth when they were cooked made it impossible to tell any difference.
Still love ‘em!

Chicken supreme? I think that might have been what we called cat meat pie.

Measuring out flour and milk and breaking an egg is the faff. Mix involves pouring water up to the line in the plastic bottle.

To Fray Benton Pies, Findus Crispy Pancakes and Vesta Chow Mein...

I see you and raise you... Brains Faggotts!

The only time the university educate middle classes should eat ‘pizza’ is if they’re in holiday in Tuscany and go to one of these authentic artisan eateries where they can be served homemade ‘pizza’ exactly as the Italian housewives traditionally made it while looking out on a vineyard, a glass of white wine in hand

they’re absolutely NOT allowed to eat this foodstuff in the UK and CERTAINLY not a ready made one from a supermarket

has difficulty typing ready made and supermarket

Not to mention Cod in Butter Sauce... a special treat.:)

Crispy pancakes are a knock off of Jamaican patties and the middle classes make their own from a recipe that Jemima brought back from Kingston when backpacking.

I didn’t realise you can still get the pancakes! Never had a frey bentos pie.

I love her style!

Current picture of part of my food cupboard, showing a Fray Bentos Meaty Pud.

I'm a bit embarrassed about the Honest Value Carrots though. Not to mention the Honest Value Kidney Beans.

And the tin of Spam which is trying to hide behind the Fray Bentos Meaty Pud.

Definitely. Really bad UPFs. Have ever and would never buy.
