Gourt > Recreation > Food > Confectionery (6)
The term confectionery refers to food items that are (at least perceived to be) rich in sugar. Different dialects of English also use regional terms for confections:
- In Britain, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries, "sweets"
- In Australia and New Zealand, "lollies"
- In the United States, "candy" (although this term can also refer to a specific range of confectionery and does not include some items called confectionery (e.g. fudge) (See below and the separate article on candy.)
A note on spelling: confectionery (the product) is sold in a confectionary (the shop). However, the two words are often interchanged — even by dictionaries.
Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petits fours or meringues exist. Speakers of American English do not refer to these items as "candy."
