I had no idea what fairy floss was until now. It appeared to be a type of spun sugar. Well, it turns out that's exactly what it is. According to good ol' Wikipedia fairy floss is a term often used in Australia. And candy floss is often used in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa. U.S. and Canada peeps usually use the term cotton candy. I think I like fairy floss better. I'm fond of fairies. The name makes the candy seem more whimsical and even sacred.
