I loved it when i was young , too sugared for me now , but i like children eyes when they look at the magic sugar cotton candy , in France we call it "Barbe à papa" which means "daddy's beard " funny ;)
It's cotton candy in english speaking Canada and barbe à papa in french speaking Canada. I've only ever had it once, but I always find that it looks like so much fun to eat, especially when I see how it's made like in this shot. Great capture!
Wow, I had no idea there were so many names for the same candy. Candyfloss is the funniest name to me because it doesn't look like floss at all. It looks like cotton as it grows on the plant. I also looks like a pink cloud. :)
Lone Beader is right -- I'm amazed at all the imaginative names for that sugar fluff. As in English-speaking Canada, in the U.S. we call it cotton candy. You can find it at county fairs and usually at baseball games.
Summer just wouldn't be summer without candyfloss, cotton candy, spun sugar. What is it called where you come from?

It's cotton candy here. We don't see if often but it is still a kids favorite when it's around.
Zucchero filato is how we call it in Italy (should be "spun sugar", in English) . My husband loves it:Peter Pan's syndrome?
In Germany it's called "Zuckerwatte" (sugarcotton), but I like the French "Barbe à papa" best!
