By now, Emmy must have a large museum of obscure kitchen gadgets.

My Daughter In Law's father, and a good friend, is the Flying Saucer Master for the Hongwanji's (Buddhists Temples and/or schools) here on Kauai. And whenever there is a Bon Dance, he is at the table preparing and cooking the treats. They sort of disappeared from temple, fundraising and carnival events on the other islands, but still hold a nostalgic presence here.

We used to make these in the fire when we were camping on Cape Cod beaches. We would fill them with chocolate and marshmallows, ham & cheese, pie filling, hot dogs. Great memories, thank you!

As a kid in the 50's, we called them pudgy pies and made them in the campfire. Mostly made with apple or cherry pie filling and sprinkled with sugar after toasted. Span 20 years and we started making more savory pies. Pizza was a favorite.😊

I like watching Emmy when I'm stressed out. She's just so calming. 🌻

As a lover of sloppy joes and a a hater of Manwich, please allow me to share the recipe that my family has used for more than 50 years, since I was a small child. It's a hit with anyone we serve it to even today!

For each pound of ground meat (which I cook with diced onion and garlic for additional flavor), combine:

¾ cup Ketchup
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp white vinegar

Pour over cooked meat, and simmer for 10 or so minutes, then serve!

Super easy, you know exactly what's in your food, and there have never been any leftovers in our house.

In South Africa we call this a jafel and it is still a great favourite in South Africa especially at flea markets, bazaars and church sales. We mix our mince with mix vegs and sometimes we will flavour the mince with curry and chutney.

[shantelllucas]

In South Africa we call those Jaffles and we call the little machine that makes them a Jaffle Maker. We usually have curried mince in it, which is a traditional Jaffle but you can have whatever filling you like.

Hi Emmy, here in South Africa that gadget is called a jaffle maker. My granny used to make us these toasted sandwiches on a Sunday evening when we were not in the mood to cook. :D Its an amazing gadget, the only downfall is that you can only make one at a time. Thanks for the great episode. <3

We here in South Africa have something called "Jaffles". They're made using a device exactly like this and done so exactly like this- two slices of white bread filled with mince. Our Jaffle iron comes from our grandparents/great grandparents alone. To my understanding, Australia also has a large culture revolving around this food? I am not entirely sure on the specifics, however.

It's fascinating to see how many cultures have some or another version of UFO-style toasties in them!

Those are called Jaffles in South Africa and they're awesome. You can put any filling in there, bacon & egg, curry mince, cheese & tomato etc
You can even buy a triple jaffle iron that makes 3 at the same time.

The things you ADDED to your sloppy joe sauce are pretty much the entire ingredients of sloppy joe sauce. I make it in the pan with no measuring.... couple big squirts catsup, squirt mustard, chunk of brown sugar, wooster sisters sauce, some onion and garlic powder, pepper.
Dollar Tree sells the ground meat chopper with four blades, no issue with the meat sticking in it's wider channels.

[christinenulph]

We have something similar. It was a square iron and we used them camping. They were called mountain pies. We always made pizza filling.

[beajoh]

We used to make these in cub scouts in the State Park for desserts, usually with two slices of white bread using fruit/pie filling from cans, cherry, apple, and blueberry.

[marlonryan]

In South Africa we call this a Jaffel maker and we usually fill it with curried mince (ground beef) or cheese and tomato. i think i know what im having for lunch today. thanks Emmy 😊😋

[ladybelle]

Pretty sure every girl scout will remember these, and how to do various recipes in them. Pizza for dinner and apple pie filling for dessert.

[DewaldV]

We have that in South Africa as well and it is very popular. We call it a Jaffle maker and it makes Jaffles. The filling is usually a savory minced meat with sometimes some veggies added. In Afrikaans it is also known as a Knypkoek (pinched cake). Enjoying your videos all the way from South Africa! ❤

We used to have similar things as a kid. We called them campfire pies. My dad also was my Cub Scout leader so he brought them with us on camping trips there too. We used to get some basic white bread and butter in them, then fill the middle with basically anything. Pie filling, spaghetti o’s, pizza sauce & cheese sticks. We didn’t have a lot of money to spend so it was a simple treat that we didn’t have to have money for. Just a couple bucks and a stack of wood.

“Mustard blood”. Good one, Emmy, good description! You are such a joy to watch and add fun to job being done.

Oh a jaffle iron! We’ve had those in Australia for over 50 years. They are delicious. I remember growing up my mum used to make us cheese jaffles yummm
