Today I learned about one of Australia’s greatest inventions: fairy bread. This dessert dates back to at least the 1920s down under, as well as in New Zealand. It consists of flat sliced bread covered with just enough soft butter so that sprinkles will stick to it, but not be immersed within it.
The submarine sandwich restaurant chain Subway always operates with a limited number of ingredients, but it seeks ways to use those handful of items in inventive ways. I wouldn’t be surprised if we later learn that turning the foot-long sandwich bread into fairy bread was devised by an humble Subway employee in their own shop.
