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 which stick to the spread.[1] Less common variations substitute honey or other sweet flavoured spreads for butter.[citation needed]
Fairy bread is commonly served at children's parties in Australia and New Zealand.[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]
