What are these called where you live?

We have numerous suitcases, sports bags, rucksacks and other bags we have used in the past, and no doubt in the future use when we next move.

I like these bags because I have very little storage space and these bags fold down and be stored easily.

Heh, I use some of these to store stuff in. Much better than any cardboard-box to keep out dust and insects and whatnot, the only 'problem' is that you'll need shelfing as they tend to not stack easily (But then, I live with a cellar -as opposed to a basement.) -which reminds me: I've got to go down and find the one with the jule-decorations today ... or do I still have that in a box, I wonder...

Can't say I've ever seen those here in the US. But from the discussion, I gather that the same niche is filled by duffel bags (aka sports bags, gym bags, etc.).
 
The largest size is considerable bigger than a duffle bag. I have used this size for moving

However I think this size is more popular if it has to be carried by hand.

The smallest size is the size of a normal reusable shopping bag.
 
We call this thing "Sanduicheira de Fogão". It literally translates to "stovetop sandwich maker". Our bread does have a weird oval shape so it looks a little bit different, though.
With the round style, you typically use sliced bread, and you always lose some of the bread because it's rectangular/squarish. All those bread corners add up significantly!

We've got an electric jaffle maker. We had one years ago but it wore out. A couple of years ago I recently remarked that I had a hankering for a braised steak and onion jaffle. Next grocery day, what's bought? A jaffle maker with a can of braised steak and onion. Done perfectly, they don't drip and are hot as hell when they're done. You have to be careful not to burn your tongue.

There are other fillings I like. Get some leftover roast, such as pork, cut it into small chunks, throw it in some leftover gravy, add a bit of apple sauce if you've got it. Yum.

Or simple canned spaghetti, if you couldn't be bothered with all the preparation.

Never liked baked beans. No one did.
Oh that tinned meat stew is like dog food, I'm sure, until you put it in a jaffle and then it transforms into something amazingly good especially with copious amounts of tomato sauce. Burning your tongue is just a natural part of the process. Also any tomato in a jaffle will come out in one piece and stick to your lip and chin leaving a nice scald mark. Baked beans are great with molten cheese, lol. Pastry and apple pie filling... cooked well and long.
 
After cutting away bread from around a jaffle iron, we used the bread as croutons in soup the next day or add them to a bread pudding.

We have that problem here is when the bread has a larger circumference than the sanduicheira. It doesn't leave that many leftovers, though.

Bread crumbs are also nice for some Beef Milanese. :drool:
 
Next up - what do you call this - I know it has different names in US, UK and in Australia.

"Sukkerspinn"


The bags we call "oppbevaringsposer"
(storage bags)

The jaffle Iron resemble something i would call a "krumkakejern"
some kind of waffle/biscuit mainly made for Christmas.

I was rather surprised when another Australian told me that Chickenfeed bags were also known as refugee bags.

However I am amazed how often I have seen them while watching movies from all over the world. I have seen them in Mongolian movies, movies from various African countries, Kazakhstani movies etc

I have never heard them called refugee bags. My family always called them striped bags and when I've needed more I've gone into a bargain shop and asked for them by that name. I just assumed that's what everyone called them lol
