The vast majority of trifles involve custard
Which is pus from the festering anal boils of Satan himself.
Also, there's often bananas involved.

I'm just staring at this in complete disbelief and sadness because
1.) custard?!?!
2.) bananas should be nowhere NEAR trifle imo. You want a sharper fruit to cut through the sweetness of everything else. Bananas are borderline repellantly sweet in themselves. I wouldn't put bananas in a trifle even if I had nobody coming to tea but monkeys

there is a good slater recipe for a trifle with blackcurrants, it's here fyi, scroll past the bream and all that nonsense, it's under the rather unfortunate title of "nigel's delightful trifle" but don't let that put you off. and ffs don't put crystallised violets on it obviously unless you like to spend your weekends dressed as joan hickson

Mum always puts banana in trifle
Slices of Swiss roll on the bottom, then jelly, then banana, with whipped cream and a crumbled up cadbury's flake on top.
