A sealed [toasted sandwich] endemic to [Australia], originally cooked in a [jaffle iron] buried deep in the coals of an [open fire].

The [traditional] jaffle was a [spartan] affair consisting of two pieces of [buttered bread] with a simple sweet or savoury filling, such as [cheese], [egg], or [banana]. With the advent of ubiquitous refrigeration combined with the electric [toasted sandwich maker], the [abundance] of boring leftovers could now be transformed into a culinary delight. Almost overnight, there was renewed [public interest] in [savoury mince] and cold spaghetti bolognaise. In a testament to [Dick Smith]-like [Australian ingenuity], unlike a regular toasted sandwich the jaffle has the [innate ability] to contain flamin' hot, viscous foods such as tinned spaghetti within its crisp toasty [carapace].

Regionally, a jaffle is also referred to as a [toastie],[roastie toastie], or according to [bexxta], toastie pies.
