Findus Double Deckers

Re: Findus Double Deckers

These are driving me absolutely mental as nobody but nobody remembers them and I know I'm not imagining them. They were made by Findus and were oblong in shape and were filled with half mashed potato and half sausage meat (or something) and were covered in batter and you had to fry them in the frying pan or chip pan. They came out about the same time as Findus Crispy Pancakes but the pancakes have continued production whereas the Double Deckers have sadly been discontinued. They were lovely with peas and chips.

Loved them, wish they'd bring them back, with the retro boom they would be a hit all over again IMO.

Here is the original late 1970's ad (somewhere between 1977-79 as far as my research has found):

So how long before we lose Captain Birdseye to the same black hole as Marathon,Jiff and Opal Fruits!!!

Don't forget Oil of Ulay!

Re: Findus Double Deckers

Just realised after my last post - Oil of Ulay is of course not a foodstuff! - I was just warming to the theme of well-loved and familiar names being changed for reasons of global uniformity.

"Snickers" - what kind of a half-assed name is that? Marathon was SO much better - conjured up images of energy, vitality etc. I still call them Marathon out of principle, much to the embarrassment of my kids.
