i think people are now waking up to how much the named brands have been ripping them off for years.great review,cheers
You're welcome 😊
i agree with you @stephenkerr2646 reason they don't look like pancakes also costly you can go into foodplus a poland store in your area and set of pancakes with meat in them and very tasty also as alots of different fillings in the pancakes and price we can afford.
@RedHeadNINTY9T9 Findus used to make them i believe.
All that advertising isn’t free.
I know what you’re thinking about the Birds Eye filling. Before you said I thought the same
Omg, 80s food throwback, I used to love these, the cheese ones were amazingly………………….bad but oh so good 😂❤❤❤❤
Totally agree.
@@mummyd1990No way, my mum used to feed those cheesy ones to us every week, I absolutely hated them.
They're not the original Findus ones though! 😆 The fact that the crispy pancake-style is still going after about 60-odd years is quite something. Another great one, Gaz 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate
You won't see them anymore cause of the Horsemeat. I think Birdseye and Findus are owned by same company.
@@iamphoenix6310Won't see what anymore?
i didnt even know they were still making them
@@iamphoenix6310 Birds Eye and Findus are both owned by the Iglo Group, which is why the pancakes could change brands from Findus to Birds Eye.
Anyone remember back in the day when you could get the curry crispy pancakes? I loved them!
Curry were my favourites also. If your are going to try them again I can vouch for the Iceland own being closer in taste to the original Findus.
Granted not the healthiest vitamin packed foods we should be eating 😅😅 but deffo a nice through back to the 80’s
Never had crispy pancakes. My Mum would never buy stuff like that. She was a ‘from scratch’ woman. Think they were Findus back in the day? Great review G… I knew just from looking at the filling which one I’d prefer. ☺️
This brings back some memories. When the Findus ones first came out, we told mum we liked them & so she got them at least twice a week. There was only cheese/onion & minced beef back then & we got sick of them, but didn't wanna say so. When they brought out a curry one, we thought it was really exotic....😂
the findus ones were great!!😂😂
@@knoxyishNot the cheesy ones though.
Reminds me of my days as a kid, loved these, quick snack then run out to play in my slippers ❤😂
Same here, Findus crispy pancakes were considered a real treat when I was small in the 70’s, probably a better quality back then though, more meaty 😀
I love crispy pancakes. It's something I've not had in years , isn't it funny how you forget about certain foods further down the line of life ? Good vid as usual , and top notch analysis 😊
Cheers, you're welcome 😊
id not try the birds eye ones unless you are looking to see just how bad they are, even the reviews on the tesco site for them are comical
On a price comparison you can have 2 Iceland ones for 1 birds eye one and therefore get more percentage of beef/onion. You would want a full box of either mind as they are only small. They are maybe a freezer filler if your stuck for what to have or again if on a budget its another string to the bow. The Iceland did look a little more appealing.
I’d just like to thank Dave for the scales. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves 😂
🤣
😂😂😂😂
haha...Gareth would be lost without those scales
so in that case
Thank you to Dave
Thank you Gaz great review 👍
I'll give them a go 😀 Back in the day, it was Findus who made the crispy pancakes, chicken curry ones 🤤😋 beef-n-onion, and chicken-n-ham, my kids loved them, but they stopped making them😔
Have a lovely day Gaz❤
You to thank you kindly
Birds Eye have took over Findus now👍
These own-brand comparison videos are really useful Gareth. Top notch content, keep em coming
Glad you like them!
You never let me down with your reviews.
Possibly one of the most important videos on CZcams currently.
Wow not had funis pancakes in years. I lived off them as a child. Just by looking at the filling i knew the icelands ones would be much better. With the costs going up so much with everything, people are now shopping more wisely. Great vlog as usual.
Cheers
These are interesting Gareth.
Thank you for bringing them to our attention.
I didnt know such foods existed.
Thanks food guy. I was looking at these in Iceland yesterday .Now I will be going back
Really enjoy these type of reviews Gaz, top man!
Cheers Chris, I enjoy doing these too.
Gareth you have taken me back in time with these, 80s food they were a bit of a luxury back in the day,il def be trying them I think Iceland is trying thank you for the review ❤
Glad you enjoyed it, you're welcome
Thanks so much for this I'm getting the Iceland ones can't wait to try.
Hope you enjoy!
@@BaldFoodieGuy Thanks have a good day.
Crispy pancakes where my favourite as a child despite the temperature inside being similar to lava.
They disappeared for years and when they where reintroduced I was so disappointed as they tasted hideous with tasteless meat gloop inside.
Tried the Iceland ones a few weeks ago. Rather bland and little meat but for £1 for four, pretty decent value.
Totally agree with you there they awful now
Been ages since I had these used to have them at my mates stoned 😂 I’m going to try them again ! I’ve subbed.
Thanks Gareth. I'll give the Iceland one's a try. Birds Eye one's looked horrible inside, light coloured? For a quid they're a bargain. Especially if money is tight and you have a few kids. One each of them with some beans and bread. Just looked and iceland do four flavours of them. These, cheese, cheese and ham and cheese and mushroom, so something for everyone!
You're welcome David, yes give them a try.
I haven't had a crispy pancake for well over thirty years, this is making me fancy some. Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
Hope you enjoy it! Cheers Barbie
i remember having crispy pancakes as a kid and they where great when they actually had a filling inside now days you are lucky to get one.... great video
Cheers
Yay, i've really missed your comparison videos! I don't think i ever had this flavour when i was young, it was always cheese or chicken and bacon!
Hope you enjoy!
Preferred the chicken and bacon as a kid with chips and peas
Thanx for the review 😊
No problem 👍
Sound good to me the Iceland ones Gaz, great review on them as always sonshine 👌❤xx
Cheers ma, xxxx
Another Great review, The original ones were made by Findus and were amazing back in the day, cheese & ham & curry ones were my favourite
Cheers
I’m glad Iceland are going back to basics a bit more and adding a few more affordable options
Yes love your comparison vlogs xx
Glad you like them!
Fantastic another great podcast😊
Cheers Jay
Cheers pal this takes me right bak when I was a kid ❤❤❤❤
Used to live the findus pancakes also back in the day "success on a plate for you"😂😂😄 great memories,will have to try both of these,cheers Gareth another belting review,keep safe and well always.
Cheers you're welcome 😊
Wow, this takes me back. Use to have these once a week when i was a kid. A quick an ease meal with peas and mash (or chips). And bang brown sauce on top 😋 Another top review 👍
Cheers Paul
Used to love the Birds eye ones Gareth but over the years the filling has become very tasteless so not had them for a long time. I will be asking my daughter to.popito Iceland to get me a couple of boxes for the freezer. Thankyou for your candid review, will let you know my thoughts on them when I get some at the weekend. Love your honest opinion you don't tell us what some might wish to hear you say it as it is, a man after my own heart. Keep up the good work & thankyou❤
Sarah Wigan
Cheers Sarah x
Your a good man 👨 need more of these videos is what looks the same but in a cheaper box 😊
More to come!
Always an entertaining channel. Happy new year mate.
Happy new year!
Had been waiting for this bud good job. Recommendation for you bud In Iceland luxury 6oz Lamb and Mint Burgers just came out absolutely lovely
wish they would bring back toast toppers next i really liked them
Another top video Gaz 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
For a lunchtime snack, I'm quite interested in some of this Iceland quid range, might have to pay them a visit.
remember having these way back in the 70s but they were findus crispy pancakes
Iv'e got the Iceland ones in the freezer. I'm looking forward to them now. Great review
Hope you enjoy. Cheers pal
Good comparison Gaz, cheers.👍🏼😋
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s a no brainer Gareth,8 crispy pancakes from Iceland for less money than 4 from bird’s eye,good review👍
Cheers Mark
Doesn't the weight matter?
Me and my partner loved the one pound range 2 fish fillets in batter you reviewed m8 better than some the expensive ones.
Loved them when they were around bk in the day Gareth however the ice land ones looked so much the same so thanks for another fab reveiw ❤
Glad you like them!
I stopped shopping in Iceland when there price hike was at its worst but a few of your reviews got me back in there .Got to say there own range is suprisingly very good and a bargain for the money I have these pancakes favourite being the cheese and mushroom love there pound range meals for a quick snack dinnertime .
My 2 year old grandson had an Iceland one for his tea tonight, he loved it.
I love the way you ate half of the pancake, put it down, and then started on the other half as though that's going to taste any different! 🤣 Good on ya mate...spot on!
Used to love those things ... May have to take a trip to Iceland - To be honest .. the Birdseye filling looked more like chicken swill .. lmao ... Thanks for another great video :D
You're welcome 😊
Used to love a Crispy Pancake back in the day, risking the skin in the roof of your mouth with the molten filling. Chicken and mushroom was my favourite. Love them in a sandwich; crap white sliced with lots of butter and a couple of crispy pancakes wedged in. Delicious!
The filling in the branded version looked more like chicken curry than minced beef!
Great comparison Gareth I used to love them. Definitely Iceland on looks and price mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Hi Gareth, Thanks for sharing another really great review 👍the Iceland ones did look much better totally agree with you all in the name the same if you buy clothes or trainers all in the name ✨🙂
Thanks for watching!
Will definitely be trying the Iceland ones 😋
.....you are fast bringing to light, just how much Supermarkets are potentially playing with the customer. I would not be surprised, if this place in Ireland is a producer of many things and provides the big names.😎🍻
Gday BFG, Ben from a hot Perth mate. Wowzers! Lolololol. Haven’t heard that for yonks! Made my day pal as always x
All the best Ben
Will definitely have to try the Iceland ones! 👍
Thanks Gareth I try these a pound bargain xx🏴👍😂😂
You’re welcome 😊 cheers Frances
Good review G.
Asked the missus to pick up the Iceland ones next time she's in there.
Cheers Mad
I can remember having these for my tea back in the 80s. Although they were by Findus back then and me mam used to fry them in the frying pan.
I Definitely will be trying those whenever I got time to go to Iceland. they look great :)
*Fantastic comparison video…👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻*
I’m not a brand snob,I just like nice food….if it’s nice,that’s what I will buy,whether cheap or expensive but one things for sure- I won’t buy something I don’t like,based on price…my appetite and stomach will not allow it.
Thanks for watching!, you're welcome 😊
Definitely a good buy. Good review 👍
Thanks 👍
I agree re after school snack as well as school holiday lunches
Hi BFG, I've done the maths on the beef content of the crispy pancakes, and you may be surprised that the birds eye ones have 60 percent more beef content than the other ones, hope this helps, the numbers can be misleading, your doing a great job, love the chanel
Thanks
Thts it u got me looking out for iceland pancakes mince n onion
I had the Iceland ones and thought they were lovely. Cheap & cheerful.
Findus Crispy Pancakes were my childhood. Such nostalgia whenever I have one.
i had some cheese and ham iceland ones last night very nice got some beef ones too will have them tonight cheers
Cheers pal
I had the Birds Eye ones a while back, they seemed to completly lack any seasoning and yes they were soggy, I chucked them in the bin. I will give Iceland's a whirl.
Brings back memories when i was a kid, loved them back in day but had the birdseye a few years ago and were rubbish, so think ill give the iceland ones ago to see if better.
Especially as a easy filler for a quid.
Cheers John
Use to love these as a kid in the early 80s they're just not the same since they brought these back will try the iceland ones they looked really nice thanks for the video plus I bought the pepperami pizzas and will be trying those soon
Cheers Lisa
I always loved the curry flavour ones not seen them for years
With the pound range you are going to get some products which will be hit and miss which is expected but overall you have got to say well done to Iceland for showing what can be done and buying a branded item doesn't mean much if someone can do a similar product cheaper and just as good
Hi Gareth, I do like the Birdseye pancakes but now I will give Iceland pancakes ago and for a £1 got to try them , thanks for the pancakes side by side. I had that Iceland Chips and curry for my tea tonight had it with 3 sausages ( Edwards of Conwy , Nice ) to be honest I did enjoy the chips and curry I thought a £1 well spent thanks for giving them a go, I will buy it again, catch you soon Take care😋🤤👍
Hope you enjoy
The sugar in Iceland ones is nearly triple. Love the way you say the prices. Makes me giggle.
You're welcome
I always remember them as. Findus Crispy pancakes. I don't think they do them anymore? Remember Findus Lean Cuisine ? lol. Great vlog Gareth.
Thanks 👍, cheers Richard
Never thought of trying these 👍
Give them a blast
@@BaldFoodieGuy I might do 👍
Used to love the cheese ones as a kid, not sure of the brand. Great video and take care...
You should be getting paid gaz, ploughing through the Iceland offerings.
Another Brill video mate 👍👍👌🏼
Thanks 👍
I do wonder though how they can call it a minced beef pancake when they contain so little beef.
Cheers as always Gareth, great review.
Yes hardly any in lol
Hi Gareth loving your reviews mate and have tried lots of your recommendations that i never would have normally tried.
I know you said you don’t have a lidl near you but if you get chance i would recommend their 4 frozen steak and gravy pies, i think they are about £2.60 for 4. They taste great with rich gravy and tasty chunks of meat . Keep up the good work and “GET TO THE CHOPPA”👍😀
Glad you like them!
Crispy pancakes are wicked remember them back in my schooldays absolutely love them tried the Iceland ones they are lovely 😄😄😄😄😄 thanks for another great video Gareth 👍👍👍👍👍 have a great day take care stay safe jx
Cheers Joe, you too
Ideal tea for the little ones, chips or mash and peas sorted.
Bit of a blast from the past, the Findus Curry or ham and cheese crispy pancakes were the best when I was a kid.... I forgot they even existed, cheers.
Cheers
They Look nice I think the Birdseye brand is the best they have been around a long time I had them as a kid IAM in my 60s good video as usual nice with beans and chips
You're welcome
Iceland’s cheese & mushroom and cheese & ham pancakes are really tasty too! Still to try the other 2 kinds
I always having the original Findus ones… to be honest Gaz I would be happy with the Iceland ones. Top video mate …. Smithy
Cheers Smithy
Memories! Cheese was my favourite. Glad to see Iceland giving it a good go, it’s something a bit different for families on a budget.
I thought Iceland had lost their way a little & they were getting a little expensive, but I nipped in there yesterday after some of your recommendations & was really surprised to find they’re back on track not just on the cheapest “value” brands but on a lot of others too & I found the reduced bin dippers freezer & made a killing there 👊
Don't think I've seen anything like this in the States, but I think that can be fixed with some simple home ingredients -- might be cheaper, too. Your pancakes look much like my quesadillas, except they're breaded before frying, so that's worth trying. Suppose I get a tortilla, fill it with something (refried beans and cheese, or corned beef hash), fold it, dip it in egg, and dredge it in bread crumbs, then fry? That would about do the trick, eh?
Cheers Simon
These are UK style pancakes made with egg batter ( US Crepes) so are a different texture to tortillas but the crumbing would work on anything. Your fillings sound delish. I think American and Mexican food beats ours hands down! ( I did not just say that! ) 🌎
The British ones were/are in a batter based pancake similar to a French Crape, slightly smaller though.
These would be more like an empanada and you're right home made would be very easy, cheaper and taste way better. You could get a fold over pastry mould to make them easy enough.
If making yourself, I wonder if they'd be better if frozen prior to frying, if practical.
We used to get these for our lads when they were little, they enjoyed them, especially when they had chips or beans with them.
Cracking review fella. When I was a nipper my mother gave me them they were tasty I think they were. Findus. Make, Keith the Welsh man 🐑
Cheers mate
I think they stopped doing them but I really like the cheese ones, very nice 👍
Classic after School meal in the 90s🙂
Slurry served up in an old crispy sock... Mmmmmm
Bought the Birdseye cheese ones a couple years back as I loved them as a kid, tasted like dishwater
Haven’t had these for 40 years, I need to find an Icelandic now. Cheers Gareth, Simon M.
Cheers Simon
