Forget - for a moment - about Brexit, climate change, The Queen and prorogation.

Because an Aussie woman has sent shockwaves through the toasted sandwich world by tweeting about a favourite filling Down Under - tinned spaghetti.

Amber Wadham asked her legion of Twitter followers whether they preferred their toasties with baked beans or tinned spaghet (a colloquial term for tinned spaghetti).

And the 23-year-old, from Adelaide, was stunned when her tweet was shared all over the world by thousands who were shocked by the concoction, known as a 'jaffle.'

The proper recipe for a jaffle, according to Amber, is cold Heinz beans or spaghetti sandwiched between two slices of white bread, before being squashed and cooked in a toasted sandwich maker.

She said: "I eat them all the time, but they're particularly best when you're really hungry. I couldn't believe how many people had never heard of it.

"Of course it matters which beans and spaghetti you use - the beans have to be Heinz, and spaghetti jaffles taste best when they're SPC, an Australian brand, but others will do. You can use others, I suppose, but they're not authentic.

"I think the best part about a jaffle is that it's like a crunchy bowl for your fillings - with no extra mess to clean up."

Amber added that the snacks can be customised however the canny chef wants.

She added: "You can put cheese and coleslaw in it as well, if you want. That's what we call a Jaffle Raffle - you just go for it and hope it's good."

Amber tweeted a picture of the two snacks, with the caption, 'A great Australian debate. Choose your side - spaghet or bean.'

She said: "My Australian fans were about 50/50 whether they preferred beans, or spaghetti. For me it's spaghetti all the way.

"Loads of Americans commented saying they were undecided because they were disgusted. I thought it was a bit rich, because they seem to deep fry literally everything.

"I honestly thought it was a normal snack - I had no idea that jaffles are only popular in Australia.

"This isn't the first time I've had a tweet blow up, but it did make me smile how a simple sandwich could entertain thousands of people."

She added: "I've even had a couple of angry Italians messaging me. They got very upsetti over some spaghetti."

Many people have told the comedian, who has 110,000 Twitter followers, that they have made their own jaffles and fallen in love.

One fan said: "I tried one when I saw Amber's tweet, because I thought it was too good to be true. Turns out, it wasn't - it takes all the mess out of beans on toast.

"It was my birthday yesterday, so I made a jaffle with spaghetti hoops and sausages. I even sprinkled some Parmesan on top to make it extra fancy."

Another fan tweeted: "My favourite thing about Australia is that Australian foods make me feel less judged for my drunk snack choices."

Yet some were not impressed.

Sultan Sketches replied: "I wish I could tell you this is photoshopped, but yeah, some people eat this. I'm not friends with any of them."

Patrick Cunningham added: "I feel like we're maybe using the word 'cuisine' a little too loosely here."
