Trifle is for every holiday! After a stomach-busting overdose of turkey, roast potatoes, creamed mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, peas & gallons of gravy, I want a giant bowl of sponge & fruit trifle with copious amounts of double cream.

Rum balls are considered cookies, right? I can eat a whole batch of those by myself. Oink.

What the hell is trifle?

I'm a trifle baffled, Kevin.

It's a dessert made in layers of sponge/fruit/custard/cream.

Or (if I'm making it) sponge/fruit/custard/fruit-in-jelly/custard/fruit/cream/custard/cream.

I hate goodies. Baddies deserve equal representation in the vote.

What, no sex?
Nothing says Christmas more than a silky red teddy with matching garters.

I meant to include Other.

PS! Kath, you disgust me! What's trifle indeed!!!!!

I'm sorry, cupcake. I've never had trifle and now that I know what it IS, I really don't want it.

Trifle can be made the night before and put in the fridge... but may I advise anyone who seriously likes their trifle to make it up just seconds before eating, i.e. never mind if the jelly hasn't even had a chance to set properly and the custard hasn't completely cooled, just gently pour them on top of each other then add the cream (I prefer 4 packets of Birds Dream Topping, each to their own). Spoon the soft, lukewarm (no, really) and deliciously tasty trifle into your bowl and consume ASAP, even as it collapses into mush. Just heavenly. You'll come back for seconds.

That still sounds like haggis.

Look at Rob's post count! 11,666!!

Not to mention he's getting dangerously close to mine. Hmm...I'm gonna have to remedy that.
