Does anyone here eat fairy bread?

Coming from r/AskAnAustralian and most other Aussie subs. Is fairy bread a thing in USA or just here?
Fairy bread is white bread with butter and sprinkles and for some reason is bloody peak
MotherTeresaOnlyfans@reddit
It is absolutely not a thing in the US and to be quite honest it sounds disgusting.
Affectionate-Lab2557@reddit
No, it's not a common thing here. Buttered bread is, but we don't add any sprinkles.
DimbyTime@reddit
Buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar is pretty common and is DELICIOUS
Dapper-Presence4975@reddit
That’s just cinnamon toast…
Affectionate-Lab2557@reddit
Ive seen peanut butter with cinnamon and sugar on toast, but not plain butter.
EnyaNorrow@reddit
Yeah, when I was a kid I would only eat it with butter if we were out of peanut butter. Peanut butter toast with cinnamon sugar was the ideal.
Quirky-Invite7664@reddit
My dad used to put butter on bread, then peanut butter on top of that, lol
MushroomPrincess63@reddit
Funny, I’ve never seen peanut butter with cinnamon sugar on toast, only regular butter.
ITrCool@reddit
This was a favorite snack when we were kids. Toasted, put butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of sugar on it. It was heavenly.
Loisgrand6@reddit
The way my mom or us did it was to put the butter, sugar and cinnamon on the bread then throw those babies under a broiler
whatiswrongwithme675@reddit
Yes, but it definitely wasn't a pinch of sugar. By the time mom was done it was a crust. Oh...the crunchy, cinnamony goodness.
TheLurkerSpeaks@reddit
Same. Grandma taught me the same trick to make toasted cheese sandwiches. Like a grilled cheese but you get these big buttery spots on the bread.
vintage2019@reddit
You just unlocked some memories
GrowlingAtTheWorld@reddit
I like my cinnamon toast without the butter. Yes some of the cinnamon sugar takes a header off the back end so I always eat it over the sink.
SphericalCrawfish@reddit
Ya, and it's not this...
DimbyTime@reddit
Congrats on figuring that out
Diesel-the-merciful@reddit
Yea it is. It’s Mexican sweet bread. It’s all over the west former Mexican territory. You should travel.
ChaoticBullshit@reddit
Mexican sweet bread is nothing like fairy bread. You should travel.
Diesel-the-merciful@reddit
I know exactly what’s he is talking about. You know Mexico is a regional country. Not all the same.
Dapper-Presence4975@reddit
Never heard of this…
Hairy_Debate6448@reddit
No, surely you aren’t telling me the vegemite people like to put odd things on their bread 😂
RotationSurgeon@reddit
No, it’s practically unheard of. For all the dietary claims made about the US, we actually use butter far less than you’d expect. We cook things with it, but a slice of white bread with butter and sugar sprinkles / jimmies / hundreds and thousands would be considered a terribly unhealthy, if delicious, snack.
CoffeeChocolateBoth@reddit
Never heard of it!
Just looked it up.. NO, those sprinkles go on ice cream. LOL
Fantastic-Meat7832@reddit
I’ve had it, but I prefer cinnamon toast because it’s toasted so the butter gets all melted and the sugar/cinnamon melts into the butter, mmmm. The sprinkles would be better on toast haha. And cinnamon flavored.
Sober_Navajo1996@reddit
It sounds kind of like a donut?
No, I’ve never heard of or seen it here. I’m kinda curious to try it though.
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
Closest we get is cinnamon toast. Very buttery toast with cinnamon sugar on top.
samanime@reddit
Yeah.
I'm aware of fairy bread because it comes up online pretty frequently, but I've never had it.
Cinnamon toast is basically my starting point for what I think it might taste like. I imagine that, minus the cinnamon. =p
No_Salad_8766@reddit
But fairy bread would have an unpleasant crunch that cinnamon toast doesnt have.
CA2Kiwi@reddit
If your cinnamon toast doesn’t make a satisfying crunch when you bite into it you’re not using enough sugar 😛
mistyjeanw@reddit
Counterpoint: If your sugar is crunchy, you're not using enough butter
seanymphcalypso@reddit
Counter-counterpoint. Butter and cinnasugar up that bread and broil it in the oven.
No_Salad_8766@reddit
I prefer more cinnamon than sugar, but still use both
genki_garbage@reddit
I first tried fairy bread as an adult and I love the crunch!
No_Salad_8766@reddit
Im not a fan of sprinkles at all because of the crunch and the fact that they dont add any flavor to what they are added to.
chaoticbear@reddit
Similar boat. I can appreciate a few sprinkles as a little texture on ice cream, but I don't actually like the flavor or texture of them on their own.
amesann@reddit
And some of them leave a greasy residue in my mouth that I can't stand.
Unless I can find the perfect sprinkles, I won't try it.
HooptyDooDooMeister@reddit
Cinnamon toast!?
Around here we eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal!
No_Salad_8766@reddit
Those 2 things are not in the same realm of taste. 1 is great, the other is cereal.
HooptyDooDooMeister@reddit
I don't disagree. Haha
HooksNHaunts@reddit
With Cinnamon Toast Crunch bacon?
NemeanMiniLion@reddit
Which was created because of the popularity of cinnamon flavored toast
saltporksuit@reddit
Honestly it makes me sad how many young adults only know the super processed cereal.
NemeanMiniLion@reddit
Actual toast is significantly better. Cereal prices these days are too insane to purchase much of it. We keep a box on hand of something but we don't eat it as often anymore. Maybe twice a month.
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
It is with great shame I admit my kids know the cereal far better than actual cinnamon toast. I'm a bad Dad!
VeronicaMarsupial@reddit
And it's crucial that the bread is toasted and the butter melts. Untoasted bread with unmelted butter with cinnamon sugar would not be as good.
MiddlePop4953@reddit
It totally is. We didn't have a toaster as a kid and we would put softened butter and cinnamon sugar on bread and it was awesome.
Illustrious_Bobcat13@reddit
Yep, came here to say this. My cousins would do this at their house, and I actually loved it. We all live in the U.S., but they are half Japanese (rest of our family is white, my Uncle married a Japanese woman), so I thought maybe it was a Japanese thing.
They would put soft butter and Cinnamon sugar on a slice of un-toasted bread, then fold it in half. I loved being at their house, Japanese foods and snacks are usually much better than Utah Mormon food culture. Especially the cooking, and my aunt is an excellent cook.
You really have to dial the amount of butter in, but err on the side of excess.
Atlas7-k@reddit
“Utah Mormon food culture,” that’s the one where elaborate soda pops and thousand island, I mean, fry sauce are the peak of dining, right?
Illustrious_Bobcat13@reddit
Oh man, I thought I had only disgust for my people's food culture, but then you came after fry sauce...
It's like when you talk badly about your parents, but then your friend talks badly about them and you're like "HEY THAT'S MY FAMILY". lol
Really though... yes, that is our peak. :(
Though if you find yourself here, and like burgers, Crown Burger has a pastrami burger that fokin SLAPS. Best "classic Utah" food there is.
MiddlePop4953@reddit
I used to roll the bread up and squish it
genki_garbage@reddit
I agree! I think it just depends on what you’re familiar with. My dad grew up on jam and butter sandwiches (or as he called them, “bread, butty and jam”), and he would make them for me and my sister sometimes when we were growing up, so when I first tried fairy bread it reminded me a little bit of that
rayybloodypurchase@reddit
My mom did this growing up as a struggle dessert; usually for her it was just sugar, white sandwich bread, and butter.
MiddlePop4953@reddit
Yep, exactly that, just with cinnamon. She wouldn't frame it as a struggle dessert but we were, in fact, struggling so that's totally what it was.
irlharvey@reddit
it’s not as good, but during the texas freeze a while back, we had untoasted cinnamon bread. maybe i was just starving but it was great!
shelwood46@reddit
My mom went through a "crepes" phase in the 70s, and I would top them with butter and cinnamon sugar, it was perfect. I put that on pancakes sometimes, good but not great (the proportion is better with crepes).
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
Absolutely. Melty, buttery, tossing it back under a broiler for a second would probably be great.
SGDFish@reddit
Yes! It gets a little crusty as it carmelizes together
HrhEverythingElse@reddit
I butter the bread, sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar, and broil it. The broiled sugar really changes the experience, and the first time that someone offered me cinnamon toast and it was regular toast that was then buttered and cinnamon sugared it broke me a little.
sponge_welder@reddit
I never even considered that people made it that way, we always had a toaster oven growing up so my cinnamon sugar was always crispy and delicious
Amardella@reddit
We had a toaster that had a drawer about 2 inches deep underneath. You turned a dial on it from "toast" to "heat" and put the toasted bread with butter and cinnamon sugar into the drawer, then pushed down the lever just like for the toast. It was easy, delicious and you didn't need to get the oven involved.
BirdieRoo628@reddit
This is the way. It gets all nice and caramelized under the broiler.
Khaleesi_dany_t@reddit
A delicacy. Growing up I thought it was French toast.
GoldenHeart411@reddit
Yep, came here to say this.
Extension_Abroad6713@reddit
I grew up eating that or buttered toast with powdered sugar. For a savory snack plain toast with mayo
madqueen100@reddit
My grandma used to give me buttered toast with homemade applesauce on it. She told me it was pie, and i believed her until i started school.
tee142002@reddit
Was your grandma old enough to have grown up during the great depression? I could see toast and applesauce being a pie substitute in those days.
madqueen100@reddit
Grandma was born in 1882. I was born at the end of the Great Depression (yes, i’m old). I heard many stories about how people managed, from Grandma. My mother and uncle spent the Depression years learning their respective occupations and starting out in them. My mother always said she was too busy at that time to want to remember it, but she never did like to talk about past times, she was always looking forward to the next thing.
Greenbean6167@reddit
I am unsure how to process this.
GrowlingAtTheWorld@reddit
Try toast with miracle whip
CupBeEmpty@reddit
Who hurt you?
rebby2000@reddit
Growing up I ate bread (no specific kind) with butter on it covered with sugar. So close but not quite.
JumpingJacks1234@reddit
Yes! Very important that cinnamon toast be served warm for maximum aroma.
Pete_Iredale@reddit
Who the heck serves toast cold???
LynnSeattle@reddit
OMG, I asked this once and apparently so many people do. Someone from South America told me they sell packages of pre-toasted bread in their grocery stores.
everyoneisflawed@reddit
Oh man, cinnamon toast was my childhood. I remember when Cinnamon Toast Crunch was invented, too, it was amazing!
FoxglovePattycakes@reddit
A nice variation is to mix orange zest in with the cinnamon and sugar. So good!
Pleased_Bees@reddit
OK wait, why have I never thought of that myself? Now I want orange zest cinnamon toast.
MayoManCity@reddit
you can do this with so many things! lots of sweet things are wonderful with a bit of zest. i personally put it in biscotti, cakes, shortbread cookies. i may try it in a pie crust sometime
OSG541@reddit
Don’t you compare cinnamon toast to that stuff haha
poisonedkiwi@reddit
Mm yes, cinnamon sugar! A really good variant that I like is ground cloves & sugar sprinkled on top of buttered toast. When my siblings and I were young, we used to eat peanut butter cinnamon sugar toast all the time. Sometimes we put it on tortillas instead and rolled them up. It was one of the few foods my younger sister could stomach, so we ate it a lot :'D
leeloocal@reddit
I get fancy and add cardamom.
Copper-Alchemist@reddit
It's the BEST!
kimmycorn1969@reddit

CupBeEmpty@reddit
Toast with butter and honey in my house
mpjjpm@reddit
Peak cinnamon toast - mix softened butter with cinnamon and brown sugar, spread on bread of choice and toast in a toaster oven.
aftercloudia@reddit
my house we called it cocomin; cinnamon, sugar, and cocoa mixed and sprinkled over buttered toast.
Crucial_Fun@reddit
I have, yes.
ZedisonSamZ@reddit
I introduced it to my niblings when they stayed the night because I’d read about it before. They love fairy bread with a bit of sugar and fun sprinkles and ask for it any time my husband and I babysit.
PM_Me_UrRightNipple@reddit
It’s not an everyday thing here but Italian Easter Bread is probably the closest we have
It’s basically a braided brioche with a hard boiled egg in the middle that’s covered with sprinkles
As you’ve probably guessed it’s served with Easter dinner
yellowdaisycoffee@reddit
Nope.
I am familiar with it, but it seems unappealing.
deadR0@reddit
No. Are the sprinkles the chalky/ plastic tasting ones we have here in US?
shadowmib@reddit
I've heard of it but I'm not sure 100% what it is or how to make it
Some_Cicada_8773@reddit
Yes!
DojaViking@reddit
My girlfriend makes it all the time but she's a kiwi/ Australian
But I introduced her to Cinnamon sugar on buttered toast so we're kind of a cultural exchange
capsaicinintheeyes@reddit
...are you callin' me queer? ^( /s)
BreeIndigo@reddit
My daughter loved toast with chocolate sprinkles when she was little ☺️ I'd never heard of it before
New_Part91@reddit
WTH is bloody peak?
minicpst@reddit
Yes, occasionally. But only because I lived in Europe and a Dutch friend told me about it.
I’ve never heard another American mention it.
rinky79@reddit
I've heard that sprinkles in Australia aren't just tasteless sugar and wax. They are that here, and so fairy bread is not yummy.
DontReportMe7565@reddit
Sprinkles of what? Dafuq?
TheSauceOx@reddit
Tried it and didn’t like it unfortunately. I have a low sweet tolerance
leukophobic@reddit
It isn’t a thing in America as a whole, but I’ve been doing it for the past few years since I’ve heard about it online. So it’s not a thing for Americans, but it’s a thing for me because I tried it once and loved it.
SteampunkExplorer@reddit
Nope, not a thing at all. I've heard of it online, but never seen it IRL.
If we ate fairy bread, you would probably know, because the rest of the world would act like it was our entire diet, LOL. 😂
NewburghMOFO@reddit
Honestly.
vengefulgrapes@reddit
No. The only reason I’ve heard about it is because it’s sometimes posted on the Internet as “here’s a weird thing Australians like that nobody else has heard of”
youdontlookitalian@reddit
The Dutch have Hagelslag, which is kind of like sprinkles on toast. Personally sometimes I put star sprinkles in my pb+js sometimes
NewburghMOFO@reddit
I was going to say I thought this was a Dutch thing.
SisyphusRocks7@reddit
Hagelslag is great and I am mildly surprised that it hasn’t caught on in US coffee shops yet. My 13 year old loves it.
TheGabyDali@reddit
We have leftover star sprinkles from my daughter's birthday and sometimes I put it on top of her yogurt LOL
PacSan300@reddit
I wouldn’t be surprised if Australian fairy bread was influenced by Hagelslag, since there was historical Dutch immigration to Australia.
OriginalTall5417@reddit
While hagelslag is our best known type of bread sprinkle, we eat all kinds of sprinkled on bread. We also have vruchtenhagel, which is pretty much just colored sugar, despite the name promising fruit. Then there’s muisjes (literally “mice”), which are traditionally served on buttered ‘beschuit’ (a sort of toast) when a baby is born. Muisjes are sugared anise seeds in blue and white or pink and white. You can eat them on bread too. There’s also crushed mice (gestampte muisjes) and chocolate flakes. We really really love to sprinkle things on bread. If I had to guess I think the Dutch may have brought the ‘beschuit met muisjes’ tradition to Australia, which turned into sprinkles on bread because mice don’t survive in Australia with all the snakes..
lolabythebay@reddit
I think in English we call beschuit "rusk." At least that's what it is in Western Michigan, where there was a lot of 19th century Dutch immigration.
TheBigMotherFook@reddit
I can attest to the Dutch version. It’s somewhat underwhelming but the sprinkles they have (De Ruijter) are way better than the American variety.
Anthrodiva@reddit
I got our house Hagelslag for fun and it IS delicious
rubiscoisrad@reddit
That's kind of cute. Like a little tasty secret that only you know about!
mlt-@reddit
I learned about it on reddit from a post about baby's Abc and a slice of bread behind letter F.
c4ctus@reddit
Vegemite?
rubiscoisrad@reddit
Yes, but that stuff is awesome. I think I'll go make some vegemite toast now :)
lavasca@reddit
Sane
Ok-Anything1966@reddit
Well America here and never heard of fairy bread if that helps.
missgiddy@reddit
I’ve never had it but I’m curious! Any particular brand or type of sprinkles?
21crepes@reddit
Absolutely not! I would never put sprinkles on bread. Ew! Cake, cookies, and maybe a sundae, but most times not even on a Sundae.
brokensharts@reddit
Sounds disgusting mate
IfItIsntBrokeBreakIt@reddit
I think every Girl Scout troop that picks Australia for their country at World Thinking Day has fairy bread as their food item.
I don't know any other Americans who know what fairy bread is.
Ms-Metal@reddit
The first time I've ever heard of fairy bread was in my 60s while watching below deck one day and a Aussie made it for someone else who was having a birthday. They made a fairy bread cake. So no, have never heard of it despite living in four different states and extensively traveling often 20 or 30 times too 43 states. We do have all the ingredients though, we certainly have butter we certainly have cheap white bread and we have sprinkles. I've actually never eaten bread like Wonder Bread, I was born in Europe so I like good bread and I do love sprinkles but I would never think to put them on bread.
KittyBungholeFire@reddit
My kid is obsessed with it. Made it for them once, now they make it for themself basically anytime we have spaghetti, or soup, or any dish that comes with a side of bread. We actually have sprinkles on the table next to the salt and pepper. It's easier than putting it away and then having to go take it out multiple times a week when they ask for it (usually right after I sit down and get everything on my plate and am finally just about to start eating).
Rhomya@reddit
When I was a kid my mom would give us a slice of bread with butter and sprinkled with sugar, but that’s more because we were dirt poor and that was a treat.
ToastetteEgg@reddit
Cinnamon sugar toast is yummy. I hate sprinkles on anything.
bryku@reddit
Personally I think it is a bit gross.
If you dont use enough butter then the sprinkles dont stick, but with that mich butter it tastes gross.
The closest thing we have is cinnamon sugar toast. Since the nits are smaller, you dont need as much butter.
Grouchy-Stand-4570@reddit
Growing up we toasted bread with butter, topped with cinnamon and sugar
slutty_lifeguard@reddit
I saw fairy bread on a subreddit the other day and had to try it, so I am an American who has eaten fairy bread, but I knew it was an Australian thing when I was doing it. Lol.
menofrega@reddit
We usually don’t eat untoasted buttered bread, which is the gateway to fairy bread.
Broad_Tie9383@reddit
I knew someone who did this with chocolate sprinkles, but her family was Dutch and that's a thing they do. I only learned about fairy bread in the last couple years. If I'm buying white bread and making a toast based dessert, I'd rather have cinnamon toast or french toast.
jwpete27@reddit
Hagleslag! Way better than fairy bread. Those Dutch sprinkles are peak.
Emerald_Pick@reddit
A friend went to the netherlands and brought back some of those sprinkles, and now I go to World Market to get my toast sprinkles.
AmishAngst@reddit
Nope.
I've heard of it, because internet, but have never seen it, made it, or otherwise partaken. Nor have I been interested in doing so because whenever someone from AUS or the UK have mentioned "sprinkles" they really mean nonpareils and I cannot stand the texture of them. Jimmies on the other hand are the true sprinkles for me and I could get on board with using that maybe, but also just haven't bothered cause cinnamon toast exists.
Jealous_Score3701@reddit
My dad actually made this for me growing up :) he called it fairy bread. No one in our family is Australian, we have German and Scot-Irish ancestry, immigrated here 200 years ago. No idea where we know it from!
Quick_Sherbet5874@reddit
i make cinnamon toast all the time. fairy toast?
julesk@reddit
Sorry, that’s not legal here. We do cinnamon toast with butter tho.
Federal_Pickles@reddit
Never heard it called this. I used to make it for my nieces when they were 2-5 ish? (Ages could be wrong idk I’m not their parent)
OrthodoxAnarchoMom@reddit
This sounds like something my 4 year old would make when no one is looking.
InsertDramaHere@reddit
Never heard of it. Sounds terrible.
Young_Bu11@reddit
No, it's not a thing anywhere I have lived in the US. Honestly it doesn't really sound appealing to me in the slightest, you can get a box of little Debbie's for less than bread, butter, and sprinkles. To be clear I'm not knocking it, I just don't get it, Everybody has things like that I'm sure. Cheers and enjoy your fairy bread. :)
Quirky-Bad857@reddit
I have eaten the Dutch chocolate sprinkles on toast, but I have never had fairy bread and I feel very desolate over that. We do have speculoos, aka cookie butter which is insanely delicious.
Matilda-17@reddit
Nope. I’ve only seen pictures of it
Afromolukker_98@reddit
Not fairy bread.
But grew up with Indonesian/Dutch Hagelslag or buttered bread with chocolate sprinkles.
Pleased_Bees@reddit
No, it’s not a thing in the US. People here put sprinkles on cakes and cookies, not bread & butter. It doesn’t sound bad though.
arrow1500@reddit
Sometimes even sprinkles on ice cream for the adventurous.
Pleased_Bees@reddit
Now, let's not get too crazy. You never know what sprinklers will lead to.
arrow1500@reddit
true, true
YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO@reddit
Ive tried it, with the proper round sprinkles even. It wasn't bad, just too much sugar.
guyincognito147@reddit
Not a thing hete but i did hear about it from watching a video of Rhea Ripley talk about australian snacks.
Away-Cicada@reddit
I tried the Dutch version with chocolate sprinkles as a teenager, but haven't had it since. Good shit.
teacuperate@reddit
Oh, you bet. We buy the fancy Dutch sprinkles and it is faaaabulous!
zdh989@reddit
My daughter has a sort of version for it for breakfast when I take her to school (my work schedule means I only get to take her to school only about once every two weeks).
Toast, Nutella, and colorful sprinkles. I made it on accident for her as a treat and she screamed "FAIRY BREAD!" and loved it.
So now every morning when I get to take her to school, she asks me if she can have it for breakfast. And since I'm a pushover, I say yes.
So, no, but sort of.
cofeeholik75@reddit
My Mom used to make cinnamon toast for us. White bread toasted. layer with butter. Sprinkle sugar & cinnamon on top. put on baking sheet in warm oven until the sugar dissolves in the butter.
Buckabuckaw@reddit
When I was a little kid we made "Jumjills", based , I believe, on some fairy tale or children's book.
Jumjills consist of a slice of bread and butter, sprinkled with sugar, then torn into little pieces and rolled into balls before being popped into the mouth.
aphrodora@reddit
It is in my Bluey cookbook, but why would I bother with sprinkles when I have cinnamon and sugar?
Biteme75@reddit
Not to my knowledge. Kids here eat toast with butter and cinnamon sugar. It's not something I would eat today, but I liked it so much at the time.
gadget850@reddit
Some of our Scouts had Polish toast, which is white bread, butter, and sugar.
kamakazi339@reddit
Fairy bread happens in my area
rshining@reddit
I have always wondered- are the sprinkles on fairy bread the round, slightly crunchy sort? Or the longer, softer, rod shaped type? Or some magical other shape that I have not tried?
thiccy_driftyy@reddit
Yeah. It’s a good midnight snack :)
goodmorningohio@reddit
Ive been kind of wanting to try it tbh but I never think of it
FunJackfruit9128@reddit
Im an aussie american, so i did as a kid! though ive never heard of anyone else hear eating it
WheelsOnFire1973@reddit
We don't have it regularly, but my daughter did all thirteen years of Girl Scouts and it's always a crowd favorite for World Thinking Day. Doesn't matter which troop gets Australia, they have to serve fairy bread or there will be riots.
Asparagus9000@reddit
Nope. The American equivalent is cinnamon toast. Make toast, put butter on it, out cinnamon sugar on it.
blessings-of-rathma@reddit
I think maybe the closest equivalent here is cinnamon toast? Toast the bread, butter it, sprinkle on white sugar and cinnamon.
feralperilsheryl@reddit
We have plenty other dairy sugar bread fats meals that you can enjoy here. This is not one of them though.
sleepyj910@reddit
ice cream sprinkles? lol no, but sounds fun.
We do have 'confetti cake' which is cake with sprinkles baked in.
Tight_Steak_232@reddit
And I find confetti cake, sprinkles on donuts, etc., to be completely tasteless. So, I highly doubt I'd ever eat bread with sprinkles.
boilface@reddit
I don't really want to have it, but I think sprinkles would be better on buttered bread because it would be the only sugar. Sprinkles on cake or donuts is just sugar on sugary things
Tight_Steak_232@reddit
I was a sugar addict as a kid. Scrawny, always looking anorexic...sugar and I were buddies. But as I aged, my tastes changed from desiring sugars to desiring savory foods. If I eat something with sugar, sugar is the reticent flavor. Eating sugar for sugar's sake isn't for me. For the record, we boiled maple sap and made 6 gallons of maple syrup this year. We put bourbon in it. :)
boilface@reddit
That is a lot of sap
webbitor@reddit
Yeah i think it takes like 10 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup
Tight_Steak_232@reddit
Try 40. I live on Maple Lane because someone had no imagination.
Beneficial-Band-3074@reddit

ColoradoWeasel@reddit
My grandmother used to make us bread with butter and a very light sprinkle of sugar. Sounds similar. But it was not called fairy bread. It was a tasty treat. And rare to get.
synterfire@reddit
I remember having a butter sugar sandwich when i was little
Imaginary_Ladder_917@reddit
Very old memory unlocked here. I have a vague memory of my own grandma doing that about 50 years ago.
webbitor@reddit
My grandmother told me when she was a kid, they would get a peice of bread with lard spread on it, with sugar on top. That was like... 90 years ago lol
Cold_Elk947@reddit
I make that for myself when I want something sweet.
There is something called biscocho in the Philippines where it’s hard bread slices (like croutons hard) with butter and sugar already mixed in and prepackaged. Then there’s ensaymada which is brioche bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top with shredded cheese. Don’t ask me how, but it’s so good.
jalapeno442@reddit
My grandma makes this thing she calls sweebok. It’s stale buns, a couple pats of butter per piece, add brown sugar on top.
It’s delicious and melts in your mouth after baking a few minutes
Cold_Elk947@reddit
Yes! Never thought about using brown sugar though.
The ensaymada I get are usually prepackaged and frozen so I have to stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so. I don’t know anyone around here who sells them fresh. Doesn’t help that I’m on the East Coast where the Filipino community isn’t as large as the West Coast’s.
jalapeno442@reddit
I’m going to look for an ensaymada recipe, I’m curious now! Both preparations you listed sound delish. I hope you find a fresh source
Cold_Elk947@reddit
If you’re in California, there are plenty of Filipino bakeries in SoCal that bake them fresh. I like to go to National City to get my fill of Filipino baked goods.

GooseNYC@reddit
Pull up Marmite
Katesouthwest@reddit
Are marmite and vegemite the same thing? I am thinking of a 1980s song lyric by an Australian band that references a "vegemite sandwich". From the description of cooking websites, they sound either identical or very similar to each other with the leftover brewer's yeast as the main ingredient.
Tamihera@reddit
I like marmite and can’t stand vegemite, so no!
PotusChrist@reddit
Vegemite has a bit of a stronger taste, but they're pretty interchangeable imho. I haven't had vegemite in years though, I've never seen it for sale in the US but I can easily find marmite.
queenchubkins@reddit
Cost Plus World Market used to carry it but I haven’t looked for it recently.
VeronicaMarsupial@reddit
They still have it.
Outside_Complaint755@reddit
Vegemite is more salty and savory, with onion and celery extracts, and is more like peanut butter in consistency.
Marmite is syrupy like molasses, more yeast flavor focused and tangy.
Broad_Tie9383@reddit
I tried to like it.
HeyT00ts11@reddit
Nothing happened?
Broad_Tie9383@reddit
I failed. Same with salt licorice. I tried, man, but it's not for me.
Yorkshire_rose_84@reddit
Marmite has just been bought by a us company. See how much the UK are kicking off (not happy) about it. We’re worried you’re going to change the recipe!

American brands already frequently have different recipes for things sold in other countries, so most likely it’ll change here in attempt to get people to like it (doubtful) and stay the same there because it’s already profitable.
CheesE4Every1@reddit
Well, duh, they'll change it.
Tamihera@reddit
Mmm… love some corn syrup in my Marmite.
CheesE4Every1@reddit
Delicioso
PotusChrist@reddit
Marmite and vegemite are both great though,a very thin layer on toast with butter is great, and a little bit also really boosts the umami flavor in chili
Ducal_Spellmonger@reddit
"It's great, if you use as little of it as possible," isn't much of a selling point.
Photog77@reddit
I don't eat any and it's amazing!
PotusChrist@reddit
That's not unusual for strongly flavored condiments and ingredients at all though. Maggi sauce, some hot sauces, hing, truffle oil, anchovies, etc. Or think of cocktails, 1-2 dashes of angostura bitters is all you need in almost everything that calls for them but most people wouldn't enjoy just taking a shot of bitters. It's pretty normal to treat strong flavors this way.
Banglapolska@reddit
Marmite is proof that God loves me and wants me to be happy.
NonBinaryKenku@reddit
It’s a great cooking ingredient for boosting umami in recipes (credit for that wizardry goes to Kenji Lopez-Alt.) Awesome in stews and chilis, especially if they’re meatless.
As a spread? Well that’s a lifestyle choice.

eugenesbluegenes@reddit
Meh, plenty of good curry around here.
awesomefutureperfect@reddit
When they say nice curry, what they mean is toned way down for the bri'ish palate, maybe with a bunch of yogurt.
Ghoulish_kitten@reddit
True. We have all the curries.
JudgeWhoOverrules@reddit
Ask Canadians how well that socialized healthcare is going for them.
_Nocturnalis@reddit

Kyauphie@reddit
No, thank you.
RectorAequus@reddit
My equivalent growing up was bread/toast, butter and cinnamon sugar/plain sugar. Didn't call it fairy bread though.
AAA515@reddit
Sounds like a donut
SabrinaFaire@reddit
No, I know better than to trust the Fae.
Available_Flatworm75@reddit
Yes in Baltimore! Parents both from Baltimore. Had it for special breakfasts growing up.
Adorable_Dust3799@reddit
We did cinimimon sugar instead. Close, but different
Such_Mortgage_1916@reddit
Why would you needlessly add sugar to bread and butter?
thedawntreader85@reddit
No. We do cinnamon toast though.
Ifyougivearagamuffin@reddit
yes, but it's not generally a thing here. This is bizarre to me, because we love cakey bread, butter and sugar!
fannaconda@reddit
Same! My grandma is Dutch so I grew up with Hagelslag (and fairy bread by extension), but it is definitely not a common thing here.
Zebras-R-Evil@reddit
I’ve fairy bread it only because my Girl Scout troop was learning about Australia. I agree with the other person who said that cinnamon toast is the closest thing we have.
awesome12442@reddit
My parents would occasionally make it for us in the morning but we just called it toast with sprinkles, and it absolutely had to be the clear looking crystal sprinkles
sysaphiswaits@reddit
The closest thing we have is cinnamon sugar toast.
Becks128@reddit
Nope. I have a sister in Australia so my nephew comes and eats it. I think it’s gross ha ha ha
divinerebel@reddit
No. I've heard of it, and know it's popular in the UK and Commonwealth, but that is not a thing in the U.S.
I don't think I'd like it. Never tried it, but I generally dont like cake or icing, or very sweet things. Maybe it wouldn't be all that sweet? I don't know. I haven't eaten white bread in decades.
armadilloantics@reddit
I use to make it as a kid. Its really not that sweet since it uses non-pareils- more crunch than sweet factor (tho not denying it is still sugar). Wonderbread is the sweetest part of it
TantricEmu@reddit
A quick look at nutrition facts of wonder bread leads me to believe that is not the sweetest part of it at all
armadilloantics@reddit
Wonder bread is most definitely a sweet bread. It has twice the sugar of wheat bread.
TantricEmu@reddit
Sprinkles have more sugar than the slice of bread you put it on
armadilloantics@reddit
Have you actually tasted the tiny round rainbow sprinkles by themselves before? They are wayyy less sweet/sugary compared to sugar sand sprinkles and mostly taste like the actual food dye on them. Also, they are half starch. I promise, if you actually tasted this combination you would agree but go on.
TantricEmu@reddit
I can literally look up the sugar content of nonpareil sprinkles but go on.
ThePineappleSeahorse@reddit
It isn’t popular in the UK. You’d get some very odd looks if you served fairy bread at a party.
divinerebel@reddit
My mistake. Australian only, then?
I though it was for kids, not parties. Kid's parties?
CatOfGrey@reddit
I've heard this from Australia, and also the Netherlands!
This is NOT common in the USA. Butter with candy or chocolate isn't a common combination. Sweet ingredients on breads are usually fruit preserves, dominantly grape jelly (basically just grape juice and pectin to make it a gelatin-like texture) or 'jam' which is usually strawberry or other berry puree, prepared the same way, with pectin, for storage.
We also have nutella!
ThirdSunRising@reddit
Never heard of it. When we want that kind of thing we grab a Twinkie
Oomlotte99@reddit
A similar thing might be when people butter bread and sprinkle with sugar or make cinnamon sugar toast with toast, butter and cinnamon sugar. But, yeah, break with butter and sprinkles is of a common thing.
effie-sue@reddit
I’ve heard of Australia’s fairy bread and the Netherland’s Hagelslag, but I haven’t tried either one.
I definitely intend to try both!
shelwood46@reddit
Absolutely never, and my friends like to joke I love sugar so much I am part hummingbird. Not a thing here.
TheDirtyPilgrim@reddit
What do you mean by sprinkles?
geekycurvyanddorky@reddit
Yes, but I dated an Aussie for a few years. Personally I’d rather have cinnamon toast than fairy bread. It’s a very cute treat though, I’ll give y’all that lol

CosyBeluga@reddit
No. It gives off struggle snack vibes.
Kielbasa_Nunchucka@reddit
I only know what it is because it was mentioned on an Australian sitcom I was watching, and I subsequently googled it... night have been Upper Middle Bogan or Fisk, I can't remember.
GoodQueenFluffenChop@reddit
Never had it. I know it exists and maybe kid me would've loved it but as an adult I prefer something like pancakes or waffles over toast covered in butter and sprinkles.
Number-2-Sis@reddit
Americans have cinnamon toast, toast with butter and cinnamon sugar sprinkled on it.
khak_attack@reddit
I remember learning in 2nd grade that the early colonists (or on the wagon trains west? who knows) used to eat bread, butter, and white sugar. Similar idea, but virtually unheard of.
Thin-Sector3956@reddit

Firefly_Magic@reddit

Somethingisshadysir@reddit
Nope, sounds gross tbh.
AbiWil1996@reddit
My kids and I have because of Bluey lol. But other than that no it’s not really a common thing.
Duplica123@reddit
Definitely only ever heard of it through Bluey. We've made it a couple times using the longer sprinkles, sometimes called "jimmies" because I don't particularly like those little round dots/Nonpareils/"hundreds and thousands". My kids liked it enough to want it more, but they are also sugar fiends and would probably eat sugar by the spoonful out of the bag.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
You mean like the time I found the jar of fluff empty on the pantry shelf because my daughter had just been eating fluff with a spoon when I wasn’t looking
FMLwtfDoID@reddit
Mine would do this with sticks of butter until I moved it to a higher shelf.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
Oh good lord… I guess this proves Missouri is southern
FMLwtfDoID@reddit
Why does my half Japanese toddler taking a cheeky bite out of butter, in our home in St Louis, prove that Missouri is a Southern state?
Duplica123@reddit
Southern cooking often has a great deal of butter, at least in stereotypes.
FMLwtfDoID@reddit
So does French cuisine.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
It was a joke
Duplica123@reddit
That's an epic move.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
I was only mildly mad she didn’t make me a fluffernutter
Duplica123@reddit
Mmmm now that's a true sandwich. I wonder if Australians make those!
CupBeEmpty@reddit
If they can find Fluff then I suspect it’d be in their wheelhouse.
My speciality is doing it with crunchy peanut butter.
steely_92@reddit
My kids saw it on Bluey, but I used peanut butter instead of regular butter to make it a tiny bit more filling.
Leading-Summer-4724@reddit
Same! That and I started doing fun recipes from around the world with my little one, and used the Bluey angle to start him off with fairy bread, as it was very easy for him to make totally on his own.

Some people heard about Australians doing it and tried it.
Some people have roots in Australia and continued doing it here.
It's not part of general Americana.

not seen it. I would not enjoy that. sprinkles don't taste good.
Prof01Santa@reddit
H##l, no! I ain't no fairy!
Consistent_Damage885@reddit
I have only heard of it recently. But most of us probably had cinnamon and sugar toast as a kid.
TieDye_Raptor@reddit
It's not generally a thing here from what I've seen. But I've seen it talked about in the internet, and I'd like to try it sometime.
genki_garbage@reddit
Definitely not a local thing but I enjoy it! I like sprinkling edible glitter on top for extra magic 😉 I also like vegemite toast
armadilloantics@reddit
I read about this in a book as a child and it started a life long love for me. I don't eat it often now as we don't buy/use white bread, but I suddenly have an immense craving.
knifeyspoonysporky@reddit
I tried it and was unimpressed. Maybe it was the wrong kind of sprinkle?
Now on the other hand Lamingtons slap
marklikeadawg@reddit
If we did eat it we wouldn't call it fairy bread lol
HidingInTrees2245@reddit
I just found out what it is here on Reddit. I never did like those colored sprinkles. I’ll stick to cinnamon-sugar toast. 😊
Cathousechicken@reddit
No, but they have something similar in the Netherlands.
Spiel_Foss@reddit
As a US citizen, I've seen this once at a child summer camp. They indeed called it fairy bread and they were also cheap as fuck and served this instead of proper cup cakes.
I still despise them for this trickery.
It was even cheap white bread and discount sprinkles.
warp10barrier@reddit
Never heard of it. Sounds disgusting.
OhWhyNotMarie@reddit
Nope. But I had butter and sugar sandwiches as a kid.
HairyDadBear@reddit
Nope. The closest thing would be buttering up a bread and adding syrup. But that was a struggle meal.

Humdrum_Blues@reddit

Agreeable-Sun368@reddit
I agree. Like super processed white bread with butter and sugar flakes feels like a parody of what non-Americans pretend Americans eat. No one from Australia has a leg to stand on in those disingenuous "have Americans heard of real bread? All American bread is square and sweet like cake" posts.
No-Juggernaut7529@reddit
My kids loved it. They were hugely into Crocodile Hunter (starting when it first aired in the US in 1997) and the OG Wiggles, which led to an interest in everything Australian. Fairy bread was a staple snack for many years.
oneislandgirl@reddit
No. Never heard of it. Closest I get is "cinnamon" bread as a kid - basically white bread with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on it. Then pop it in the oven under the broiler for maybe a minute. Mmmm.
FormicaDinette33@reddit
We have cinnamon toast where you put cinnamon and sugar on bread. What type of sprinkles are you referring to?
HeyT00ts11@reddit
No, the sprinkles aren't real food. They don't taste like anything, I feel like I'm eating cardboard in tiny colorful shapes.
I do not like sprinkles on toast, I do not like them, mate you are, I will not eat them with my tea, I do not like them, let me be

Flamebunny@reddit
I eat Hagelslag (similar concept) when I can get my hands on the sprinkles but that's more because of my heritage.

It’s not a thing in the States but it’s such a cute idea I snagged it for a kids’ party.

No……we’re Americans and don’t need to add any more sprinkles to things. We are basically 50% sugar as is.

Fairy bread? No. But I’ve seen an uptick in “funfetti” items like cakes/scones with sprinkles mixed into the batter & assume they could do it with white bread as well.

I only heard about it from a U.S. based commercial where a mom refuses to eat "Princess toast" her 4 year old made.
I thought it was made up fir the commercial until I Googled it and found out other countries have it by various names.
One possible reason we dont have it? ......Pop Tarts. They are essentially the same thing.
hayleybeth7@reddit
Australians will eat fairy bread and then mock Americans for us having an unhealthy diet, mhm.
LlamaMoofin@reddit
Closest thing is I ate hagelslag sometimes as a kid (and honestly still as an adult sometimes), but never buttered bread with non chocolate sprinkles. Honestly no clue why we had that because we're not Dutch or anything. I think I remember the big Asian grocery near us sold the sprinkles and my mom just was intrigued or something

Yes, I've tried it and i like it. I love butter, bread, and sprinkles. I love a good crunch.

ozaudi@reddit
Not really although I used to have scheduled regular meeting with a group of pre school teachers. There was always food at these meetings. Every few months it would coincide with a kid's "cooking" class and fairy bread was a staple. I was assured they only offered up stuff made by adult staff members.
Australian adults say they regularly eat fairy bread aren't revealing their alcohol or smoking habits.

Fabulous-South-9551@reddit
I love sweet bread and especially cinnamon toast so technically I think I would like fairy bread but what bothers me is that you use (from what I’ve seen) non-pareils type sprinkles which are hard and crunchy so for me, it would be a textural nightmare.

I'm not sure what you mean by sprinkles. As a kid, I often had white bread with butter sprinkled with sugar and it was delicious.

Responsible-Yam4748@reddit
Something I wonder about fairy bread (Ive also never had it) is if maybe sprinkles are different in Australia? In the US, at least the sprinkles Ive had are waxy and dont really taste like anything. Eatting a bunch at once sounds absolutely disgusting.
Diesel-the-merciful@reddit
What kind of white bread. Mexican American. So American. We call that pan dulce. Sweet bread. You find it mostly in the parts of the USA that were Mexican Territory. I’m in Los Angeles and we have. Panaderias, were you get all types of sweet bread, rolls, cakes. I guess it’s a French and Spanish influence to Mexico.
Ok_Orchid1004@reddit
Never heard of it. I know what “sprinkles” are, but there are many different types of sprinkles. I do know about “hagelslag” which is a Dutch thing where they take soft, white bread, butter it and put chocolate sprinkles on it. What type of sprinkles do they use in Australia?
bustacones@reddit
I don't even like sprinkles on my ice cream, this sounds revolting.
Also, no, I've never heard of anyone doing that in the US.

BreadPuddding@reddit
Absolutely not a thing here, I only know of it because of the internet. Cinnamon toast is a thing (toast with butter and cinnamon sugar - it’s important that it’s toast because the butter is supposed to melt and the sugar dissolve). It’s an Aussie thing.

The closest thing is buttered bread.
In places where there's a higher Dutch population there's hagelslag that's put on buttered toast so basically the same thing.
Creativejess@reddit
I’m Dutch-Canadian and this is very similar to the hagelslag I grew up eating. It’s a common breakfast food. Bread or toast with butter and sprinkles but we usually ate the chocolate flavour. So tasty and nostalgic!

Emergency-Office-302@reddit
Peak interculturalism! I love how the thread goes off on variations of cinnamon toast. There are some very good ideas there. I need to buy a loaf of white bread (for the first time in years.)
FWIW, OP, I do remember making myself a butter and sugar on white bread sandwich a few times when I was staying at Granny’s. Idk why I never did it at home. I wouldn’t say it’s an American thing, though. AFAIK, I invented it independently and never mentioned it to anyone for 70 years afterwards, so today I’m finally coming clean about it.
Lemon-Leaf-10@reddit
No we do not. We have delicious donuts to put sprinkles on, we don’t need to put them on bread.

HackDaddy85@reddit
Nope. Never done it. Sprinkles are not an ingredient I typically keep in the house. Closest common thing for Americans is putting cinnamon on buttered bread.
judgingA-holes@reddit
NO. Had to look it up to see if "sprinkles" meant something else to Australians, because this doesn't sound good at all, and I found out that it was indeed sprinkles.... And I just have to know why this has become a thing? Like I looked it up and it says it's served at kid's parties, and I just don't know why you wouldn't give them cake. Someone needs to start a "let them eat cake" movement. LMAO.
1337b337@reddit
Funny enough, the area I live in has a large Dutch presence, and I've come into contact with a snack called "Hagelslag" multiple times.
Instead of sugary sprinkles, hagelslag uses long chocolate sprinkles, but they can also be fruit flavored (vruchtenhagel.)
typeXYZ@reddit
Sometime in my adolescence, our family moved on from sliced white bread, so I haven’t had a loaf around in 40 years. Doing this on wheat bread seems gross, but I’d give this a try out of curiosity. Sounds like a concoction created by stoners though.
momofdragons3@reddit
Yup! Dutch heritage people know about it. Personally, I prefer the Chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag) though
Constellation-88@reddit

Not particularly but I’d give it a shot. My wife introduced me to fluffer nutters tho and it’s also peak
Limberpuppy@reddit
Our bread already has enough sugar. We don’t need to add more to it.
MuppetManiac@reddit
That sounds disgusting.
SteampunkRobin@reddit
Our equivalent is bread and butter with sugar on top. But we don’t call it fairy bread.
SummonerSausage@reddit
I used to occasionally make it as a treat for my daughter, but she's 12 now, so has grown out of it, even if she still really likes sugary snacks.
LeiaKasta@reddit
No, we don’t really have this. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen it. A lot of people are bringing up cinnamon sugar bread but I would classify that as significantly different given that cinnamon has flavor and sprinkles… don’t really. Or at least not nearly as strong if they do.
Danibear285@reddit
We are not Aussie
NekoArtemis@reddit
I do, but it's not common. But I like sprinkles and trying international foods, so I eat a lot of things other people don't commonly. Whether people have heard of it is going to depend a fair amount on age, how online they are, and whether they have kids that watch Bluey apparently.
AncientGuy1950@reddit
Never heard of it, it sounds unappetizing.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
Sugary butter toast? It’s fine. Nothing amazing but definitely not unappetizing.
Khajiit_Has_Upvotes@reddit
No. I tried it after learning about it. I think that like our cinnamon toast, it's fueled in part by childhood nostalgia and without said nostalgia it just doesn't cross my mind.
RockShrimp@reddit
No you guys are weird. We say No Worries now though because of you
largos7289@reddit
NO and please keep that over there...
tetrasodium@reddit
No. I know what it is but have never eaten it heard of someone making it or been driven to buy the sprinkles to make it.
BlueEyedSpiceJunkie@reddit
Never heard of that. My little kid comfort food when I’m sick is bread with loads of butter and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. That seem like a cousin.
weasel999@reddit
I recently made it and tried it, but it wasn’t my thing.
CupBeEmpty@reddit
Tried it once after hearing about it.
It’s toast with butter and sprinkles.
Sort of “it’s what’s on the tin” situation.
jungle_rose@reddit
Not common at all but I've had it a couple of times out of sheer curiosity.
But I did hagelslag (dark chocolate), not sprinkles, so I guess its not quite the same. It was super good, I just wouldn't be able to eat it regularly.
PhilTheThrill1808@reddit
Had it visiting the Netherlands, where they call it hagelslag, when I worked for a Dutch company. Other than that, no. It was… meh.
sean8877@reddit
Somehow fairy bread sounds much more appetizing than hagelslag.
PhilTheThrill1808@reddit
Yeah, Dutch words generally either look like English ones but with some extra vowels (usually As) thrown in or are incredibly bizarre looking. At least based on my limited experience with the language.
Esmar_Renacette@reddit
I've made it for my son because I learned about it from the internet.
ObligatoryAnxiety@reddit
I make it for my granddaughter who is obsessed with sprinkles. She loved it for about 4 weeks and now she's over it.... She's 6, so you never know what she'll be into at any given point in time.
Bearbearblues@reddit
No, the closest I have seen is Dutch friends doing similar but with chocolate sprinkles.
But now I am going to look in my cabinet to see if I have sprinkles so I can try this. 😂

In my house, you only get sprinkles if you have had a recent victory. "Sprinkles are for winners."

It's not a food here. I mean -- we have all the ingredients and we could make it, but why would we when there is so much better food available?
sean8877@reddit
Never heard of it, is it from a Peter Jackson movie?
HyperboleHelper@reddit
Sorry Aussie's, but this one sounds gross!
mountainbird57@reddit
Is fairy bread only with rainbow sprinkles? My friends mom used to give us bread with butter and chocolate sprinkles, I think it was a Dutch origin thing.
miketugboat@reddit
No and the concept seems insane. Maybe our sprinkles are different, but ours are weirdly textured and not very flavorful.
We have buttered white bread (toasted, or untoasted sometimes) with cinnamon and sugar. It's not really something you'd serve people or kids at a birthday party, but it's not the worst breakfast.
AdministrationTop772@reddit
No idea what it is. Sounds kind of like marmite or British toast sandwiches in that if you remove the nostalgia factor it’s probably horrible
skilletjlc4@reddit
No but saw it on Bluey and now my daughter talks about it
theegodmother1999@reddit
definitely an aussie thing hahahaha they only thing sort of close that we ate as kids was cinnamon sugar toast which is just a piece of sandwich bread with butter and cinnamon sugar
OpalOwl74@reddit
I forget what my mom called it but she used to have white bread with butter and sugar. It had some funny name.
SteakAndIron@reddit
My grandmother who grew up on the Great depression in indiana would make butter and sugar sandwiches sometimes. That's about as close as it gets

Fite me.
madpeachiepie@reddit
Every time I hear about I think, I want to try that, and then I forget to buy sprinkles.
JBoy9028@reddit
Check in with the Dutch as they have something similar with chocolate sprinkles. But as others have said sprinkles on bread isn't a big thing over here.
Traditional_Trust418@reddit
No. It isn't really a thing here. I didn't even know it existed until a couple of years ago. The Internet showed it to me

There’s an Australian cafe in my town so I’ve tried it but it’s not a common food
arrow1500@reddit
I've only heard of fairy bread online and the only time I've seen Americans eat it is YouTubers trying it. As other commenters have said, we have cinnamon-sugar toast. Mix cinnamon sugar to your preferred ratio, spread melty butter on toast, sprinkle the powder on top and watch it stick.
Sallyfifth@reddit
I make it with a peanut butter base for my kids, and knew it pre-Bluey...but I knew Aussies pre-Bluey as well, so i discovered it through them.
Beverly_Crusher_2324@reddit
Before kids, I knew what it was and tried it - it’s fine. But I make it for my elementary school aged children. Typically an after school snack while watching, you guessed it, Bluey.
Calamityranny@reddit
I personally consider our cinnamon butter toast thing the American equivalent to Fairy Bread
TooManyDraculas@reddit
My sister makes Hagelslag for her kids. It's Dutch, and basically thee same thing. But with chocolate sprinkles.
I believe the reason for this is Aldi or Lidl selling boxes of Dutch style sprinkles.

LinuxLinus@reddit
Never heard of the stuff.
Phoenix_Court@reddit
No. Honestly I don't think I'd be willing to try it either, based on how it's been described to me. Mainly due to texture.
Now if it were toast instead of bread (partly for texture/taste, but mostly so that the butter is melted), and sanding sugar instead of sprinkles (for the texture) I might consider trying it.
The closest thing we have here is cinnamon sugar toast. It's toasted bread, butter, and cinnamon sugar. It's delicious.
poisonedkiwi@reddit
I tried fairy bread twice with varying results. I tried it toasted and untoasted, one of which wasn't too bad, but the other was fucking rank and I would never try it again. Problem is I don't remember which variant was the decent one so now I'm stuck not trying either of them.
zwalker91@reddit
No I don't even use sprinkles on my ice cream. Don't like them
JuliusTweezer@reddit
No. First time time hearing about it. I feel if you were to poll non Americans on where they think this food is eaten that they’d mostly say America cause we’re fat /s
infinite_awkward@reddit
Fairy bread wasn’t a thing here until Bluey brought it to the attention of toddlers across the US. You may find it where toddlers roam, but Bluey is the only exposure to it that I’m aware of.
Also, thanks to Bluey I’ve been conned into making your insanely delicious pavlova for two years for a toddler’s birthday. Never heard of it before the show.
TheConceitedSister@reddit

No but I’ve heard of fairy bread. You made me think of “egg in the basket,” which is sliced bread with a hole in it to drop the egg into, and then it’s fried up with oil and butter.

I dated a woman from Hobart that sang the praises of it, but she’s the only one I’ve heard of eating it here.

manicpixidreamgirl04@reddit
I tried it once. Our sprinkles aren't as sweet as yours, so they were overpowered by the taste of the bread and butter.
scroobiouspippy@reddit
I adore fairy bread but I only have it if an Aussie makes it. I had a friend who used to always have it at her parties (and pavlova).
STLFleur@reddit
Yes.
But that's because I grew up in Australia.
I've brought fairy bread to my kids potlucks/parties frequently and it always disappears in minutes!
American kids definitely like it if served to them. Obviously I've never seen anyone else bring or serve it though!

I've never heard of it. Perhaps the closest thing (sort of) to that in the US is Funfetti Cakes and Cinnamon Toast.
In the US, we do like to use nonpareils but it's in the form of sprinkles (jimmies) and are almost strictly reserved for desserts like ice cream, donuts, or cupcakes.

No, it’s not common here at all but personally I did just try it at an event for my daughter’s Girl Scout troop and it was interesting. Definitely more of a textural experience than any flavor difference from just regular buttered bread.

cyvaquero@reddit
The closest thing I can think of is a Mexican pan dolce which is a thick slice of mexican sweet bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top called “Rebanadas de Mantequilla” found at panaderías in border states (I’ve found it in both AZ and TX). However, my co-worker from Monterrey doesn’t know what it is so I don’t know how widespread it is.

I only know of it because I've seen it mentioned online. It's just not a thing here but I'm sure it's fine.

(I also only know of this because internet.)
ManateeNipples@reddit
I don't like sprinkles, I can tolerate them in the background when there's frosting because the sugar overpowers my brain from noticing them but on fairy bread it feels like butter covered in bugs to my tongue and I hate it so much

But it is sugar and butter so I probably would have wound up eating it.

I have never seen it for sale, never seen it out, and no one has ever admitted to eating it to me. But we do have bread, bitter, and sprinkles, so I'm sire someone has eaten it in the USA. But I would not consider it common.
