I forget where I saw this recently but apparently Fairy Bread is a yummy little snickety-snack in Australia. Oh, I remember! I was trying to find out if any other parts of the country call "sprinkles" jimmies. I'm a Philly girl and so are my folks, so we always say jimmies. While, more than likely, looking on Wikipedia it must have taken me down that proverbial rabbit hole to discover Fairy Bread. Apparently it's white bread (yuck!) with butter and then covered with jimmies and those lil' nonpareil things. Thanks to Amy Sedaris' fun collection at Fishs Eddy, I was able to make this for afternoon snacktime. And y'know what? It's pretty good. Admittedly, I have the palate of a five year, so I guess it's not surprising that I dig this. On Sunday I'm bringing all the fixin's over to Mama Rosie's for Mother’s Day and have Lucy and Jax try it!
(In truth, I think if I'm feeling Aussie, I'll stick to multigrain bread, butter, and Vegemite.)
