Trifle
I recall getting really excited by trifle as a kid.
Made one recently and sat there wondering what the fuck I was doing eating layers of cold custard, tinned fruit, cake crumbs soaked in rum, and cream, with hundreds and thousands on top. I mean, cold custard is pretty shit. The whole thing was shit. If I want fruit in booze, I'll drink Pimms.
This is why adults don't eat trifle. It's shit.

You don't make them, you buy them from M&S
they helpfully have the word "sherry" on the label

When trifle is not shite
it's actually quite good.

True of so many things.

Bonds of Elswick
They are a small ice-cream company in Lancashire.

If you can, try their Sherry Trifle ice-cream, it's terrific stuff. Somehow, there's sponge layered into it. I suggest it eaten with a waffle cone.

I'd happily eat cold custard, straight from the can,
and generally prefer my trifle made with jelly and cheap, tinned, fruit cocktail. Simple pleasures.
Posh trifle leaves me somewhat cold, as does Eton Mess.

Cold custard is awesome.
As is trifle. That is all.

Good lad.
Cold, tinned rice pudding, too. Also, cold tapioca, which my favourite restaurant no longer serves, much to my dismay.

Eton mess does nothing for me

Gosh
I did not realise how much I hated trifle till I read this.

I would happily have gone on thinking I liked it, but actually - you are right. It is disgusting.
