What do New Zealanders call a jaffle?

A jaffle is a type of sandwich that is very popular in New Zealand. It is usually made with two slices of bread that have been toasted in a jaffle iron, with a variety of fillings such as cheese, ham, bacon, eggs, and vegetables. The jaffle is then sealed along the edges using the heated jaffle iron.

In New Zealand, jaffles are commonly eaten as a snack or light meal and are often found at cafes, takeaways, and even school tuck shops. They are also popular at home, particularly during the winter months when they are served warm and are especially comforting.

In New Zealand, jaffles are often referred to colloquially as ‘jaffas’ or ‘toasties’. This is in contrast to other countries such as Australia where the term 'jaffle' is more widely used.
