        Clothes dryers that use natural gas or propane to create heat and dry the clothes. There are parts of Europe where natural gas and propane are prohibitively expensive, and there is no distribution infrastructure for the fuels. Most European clothes dryers are electric, and clothes dryers in general are not particularly common.

        where I live, sandwich isn’t really a lunch-like dish. it’s okay for breakfest or dinner, but for lunch, usually we have cooked food. Soup and main course. My country is big in home made food.

        Sandwich for lunch is just… doesn’t really feel like a lunch here 😅

          Ah. Our weekday Dinner is usually at suppertime or teatime here. Lunch is something quick to eat at work. Cook when we get home, our home-cooked meal is usually around 8pm in my house. Who is cooking these big home cooked meals so you can have dinner at lunch?

          Now calories - wise, lunch is where it’s at. I do usually eat the most calories mid-day (often leftovers from last night dinner) because I don’t like to be full to sleep. But cook when I get home from work for a family meal, and have a nice small plate of good freshly cooked food.

        don’t know if it’s regional or legacy thing, but yeah, it’s real and I was just as buffled.

        my thoughts were either electricity being/was expensive or the 120VAC wasn’t quite suitable for the task, but then there’s way to get 240VAC as well, so I’m maybe completely wrong on this.
