American in hot water after criticising iconic Aussie food: ‘A big crime.’
- Replies 15
We have certain dishes that we hold dear to our hearts – one of which is fairy bread.
This buttered bread covered in hundreds and thousands (or sprinkles as the Americans call it) is an iconic Aussie snack.
But one American TikTok user criticised fairy bread on the social media app recently – and now it backfired on her.
Jessi Pasini loves to play pranks on her Italian husband Alessio, often recording his dramatic reactions and posting them on TikTok – which go viral.
Well, in a now-viral TikTok with over six million views, Jessi decided to make fairy bread for her husband.
Jessi puts a plate with a piece of white bread on it (already buttered) and places another plate filled with colourful hundreds and thousands and presents it to him.
‘I already know what you’re going to do. You’re going to flip this [here] and eat it,’ Alessio said, looking horrified at the food combination before him.
‘Yeah! You want to do it?’ Jessi offers. Alessio half-screams ‘No!’ But that didn’t stop Jessi from flipping the piece of bread on top of the sprinkles and turning it right-side up again.
‘[This is] Fairy bread.’ She said before serving it to her husband.
‘Oh, this is a crime. It’s a big crime!’ Alessio laments as he takes a hesitant bite.
He immediately shakes his head and declares that fairy bread is a big ‘no’, and gags a little bit and looks offended as he says ‘the butter!’
Australians in the comments section defended the popular snack.
‘That is an Australian iconic staple dish sir. How dare you!’ Wrote one.
A second added: ‘Listen, mate. You should know I side with you like 99.99% of the time, but I will not have my culture disrespected like this!’
‘Fairy bread is top-tier!’ Another added in the comments.
A fourth chimed in: ‘Mate, that is an Australian delicacy, It’s a crime for you to diminish it.’
Others admitted they found fairy bread ‘disgusting’ and ‘nasty’.
You can watch the Pasinis’ video below:
‘I had an Australian friend who told me about this and I was horrified,’ shared one.
One user admitted: ‘I’ve never seen this done. It’s a no for me!’
This comes after another TikTok user, Alicia Dougherty, was slammed for butchering a simple fairy bread recipe.
The mum of 12, who posts under the name Dougherty Dozen, made fairy bread using Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead of butter – which disgusted many.
‘As an Australian, I’m both offended and disgusted by her actions in this video,’ said one in her comments section.
Another wrote: ‘How in the h*** could anyone f**k up fairy bread?’
Well, dear members. Are you also ‘offended’ by Alessio’s reaction? Or do you think people are just overreacting? Share with us your thoughts in the comments section!
