In The Netherlands it's called a 'Tosti' and it comes from a tosti-maker Probably not the answer you were looking for

When I was growing up we called them "jaffles". And we used a "jaffle iron" like this one: My brother still has the jaffle iron that we used as kids, it would be at least 45 years old if not more. Some people call them a Breville, which is the brand name of the sandwich maker - a bit like when people in the UK say they are doing the "Hoovering" instead of vacuuming, or when people say they need a Kleenex instead of a tissue.

Grilled sandwich, and the machine, grilled cheese maker. I had one (a gift) and we all we're excited for hello kitty grilled cheese, but then were sorely disappointed to find it didn't actually grill hello kitty into the sandwich, the machine was just hello kitty themed.

Pudgy pies. And that's a pudgy pie maker. I first made them in girl scouts, but we had a wood stove to heat our house, so there were a lot of pudgy pies made in my living room in the winter. And pizza pudgy pies are the best. I think the tool you posted in your first post is marketed here as a sandwich maker, but I would call it an electric pudgy pie maker.

I would call it a panini, but not a traditional U.S. Midwestern panini because of the shape.

Not aware of these. What's between the bread slices ? Anything you want. It looks like ham in the original post, but I like them with spaghetti/pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Dessert ones are good, too. You can use pie filling, but on vacation, my family likes to use peanut butter and hershey bars that didn't get made into smores.

I'm on the some-kind-of-sandwich-maker American bandwagon. And they look yummy. They'd look even yummier if I hadn't just eaten half a freakin' pizza. All by myself.

It's similar to a panini, but the panini presses here usually make striped grill-type marks. I've never heard of or seen any of those other contraptions.

We call them jaffles and jaffle maker. You don't see them too much anymore, the sandwich press seems to have taken over. Having said that, I've seen them coming back in hipster type places.
We used to have them all the time as kids with one you put on the stove without the crease down the middle. Holy heck you had to be careful, otherwise the molten insides would burn you.

My mom bought one of those when I was a kid. I wouldn't eat the sandwiches because they looked weird to me. Now I wish I had one.

I had that machine in the 90s! It was a SnackMaster. I don't remember what I called the sandwiches I made with it. I remember my Mom got it for me the first summer I was staying home alone while they were at work, Inwas 11 or 12. She was ok with me using it and the microwave by myself. No oven or stove! Lol. I made some crazy concoctions in the SnackMaster!

I remember them as campfire pies. Now I am feeling nostalgic and want one.

In the UK they're called toasted sandwiches, or toasties for short, and the machine is a toasted sandwich maker. Very common snack in the home and in cafes. I like cheese and onion best.

Jaffles and Jaffle maker - we got one a couple of years ago from HN so they are still out there. Just recalled I bought one for my work from Big W too. It got used a lot. Gilly.

In my part of England they are called toasties and it's a toasted sandwich maker. I've got a toasted sandwich maker that looks like the jaffle iron but I can't remember it's trade name now. I got it from QVCUK a while ago so it will have been American I guess. Makes a great toasted sandwich for one though, so I keep it!
