This is my first post. I will spare you a lengthy introduction. Suffice it to say that as a housewife for 43 years I have had ample time to raise my dullness to genius level. I was raised in a very boring state, but was blessed with an aunt who regularly fed me and my cousins sugar sandwiches. The American sugar sandwich consists of a piece of soft white store-bought sandwich bread, slathered with a generous layer of butter, sprinkled liberally with white granulated table sugar, and folded over into a rectangle shape. Never a triangle, and never cut. A while back I learned through the teachings of the internet that in Australia children eat a similar concoction called Fairy Bread, which also consists of a piece of soft white store-bought sandwich bread, slathered with a generous layer of butter, but then, rather than sugar, is topped with little round multi-colored cupcake sprinkles, and eaten in an open-faced manner. I had no choice but to make a side-by-side comparison, so made one sandwich of each type, and ate them, alternating bites to get an honest assessment. While the Australian version scored high marks for being aesthetically pleasing, the overall winner was the American sugar sandwich. The crunch of the Fairy Bread was off-putting, while the table sugar of the American sandwich blended seamlessly with its butter and bread during the chewing process. Further experimentation may be required to verify these results. 62 year old female. White hair. Shoe size 7 in the morning, 7 1/2 by evening.
