English term

Silly Nilly

English to Dutch Other Cooking / Culinary
This term is, like two others I asked, in a list of possible candies you can make with a cotton candy maker.

Is there a Dutch equivalent for this.

roze vanille

Pink vanilla is one flavour of candy floss I found in relation to silly nilly floss, but other manufacturers sell vanilla only silly nilly candy flosses.
It's more a description than a translation. In Holland we may have an equivalent flavour, but I don't think we have names for our 'suikerspinnen'. They just come in either colours or flavours: aardbeien, bosbessen, banaan. I would describe the flavour, or invent a name and start a whole new tradition, with names! Suggestions from my part: Mamaloe, Harlekijn, Pinokio

In other words, if you choose to describe the flavour, you would have to find out what exactly silly nilly is in your particular source text.
