couldn't he just have said "I got inspired by fairy bread and made this different dish" because that's what he did

Mrs Sheepie
It's just the audacity that he's claiming he's doing it right even when he's blatantly disregarding the defining factors of fairy bread

Blue Emus

I'm mostly stuck on the "sprinkles in butter" part, but that's because I can't stand the texture or taste of unmelted butter

Mrs Sheepie
that's fair. i don't actually like eating fairy bread

Dragomorph
On white bread.

Blue Emus
well for some context, fairy bread is also very much like. a thing for kids.

Blue Emus
It's a thing that is served basically at kids birthday parties and nowhere else

Blue Emus
also it is one of those things that does not seem like it should work, and yet when you eat it somehow does

Worser Punk 💥
nonpareil is the name of the sprinkle

Worser Punk 💥
the chocolate discs with nonpareils coating them are sometimes called nonpareils but it's like... calling Werthers Originals toffees

Worser Punk 💥
made of, common usage, not actually

Who Did Thing?
i've always called the disks nonpareils /shrug

Worser Punk 💥
yeah it's common! and not wrong, per se, more that - how are words work I am english good

Worser Punk 💥
calling the disk a nonpareil is fine and calling the candies "toffees" is fine and neither is incorrect, but "what is a nonpareil" "it's the sprinkle" "what is toffee" "it's this confection no matter what form you put it in"
