FRYING SAUCERS OF NEW ZEALAND

Hi,

You recently mentioned Flying Saucers, a type of lolly - not sure if I ever had one of those, or if they were available in New Zealand. 

However I do recall Frying Saucers, which were advertised on TV. 

Again, not sure if we ever had any, but the name stayed in my head for a few decades, so the ad campaign worked. 

They were made by Irvines. They were meat and vegetable combinations, cooked in a frying pan.

Here is a short item from TV-1 in NZ about them.

Anyone know them or know anything like them?

  1. Maybe if rissoles had been called Frying Saucers here in the UK, us kids might have found them more appealing. I remember eating them at school and at home in the mid 1970s. Thankfully I havn't had the dubious pleasure of eating rissoles since then.

    1. I think I loved rissoles Anon. Wow. What a memory. I liked faggots too. Last year I tried Brains Faggots. Very squishy but tasty! Thanks for the post Paul.
