candy floss
Fairground sugar clouds
Candy floss is the British term for what Americans call cotton candy—spun sugar heated and whipped into wispy threads, then wound around a stick or collected in a bag.
It's a fixture at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks, prized more for its theatrical preparation and cloud-like appearance than for any complexity of flavor.
The children begged for candy floss the moment they spotted the vendor.
