fairy bread

fairy bread
An Australian snack made of buttered bread covered in hundreds and thousands.

I notice that the rest of the party food has just about disappeared. All that is left are a few puddles of congealing tomato sauce, a couple of smashed meringues and the dried-out crusts from fifty-odd triangles of fairy bread.
