Fairy bread
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fairy bread is sliced white bread cut into triangles, spread with margarine or butter, and covered with hundreds-and-thousands or nonpareils which stick to the spread.[1]
Fairy bread is commonly served at children's parties in New Zealand and Australia.[2][3][4]
The origin of the term is not known, but it may come from the poem 'Fairy Bread' in Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, published in 1885.[1]
