Australian party food

My Seattle friend Adrienne Fairhall emailed with a more detailed explanation of Australian birthday delights from the b-day party Arno attended at the Australian embassy.

Remember the fairy bread?



Adrienne says these are basic sprinkles, but fairy bread in her home country would properly be topped with tiny round candies called "hundreds and thousands" or H&T.

Beyond the meat pies and mini sausages, she gave me a name for the pancakes with jam and cream: "party pikelets."

Adrienne: "This is exactly the menu of a hundred parties I went to as a kid."
