I'd rather just eat a Swiss roll and chocolate. Why don't lidl sponsor anything but junk food? no one needs more help to eat more shit.

YABVU. Trifle is awesome. No one is making you eat or make it and your favoured alternative of Swiss Roll and chocolate isn't exactly health food either.

Merry Christmas Smile

That looks so good. I wish there was a Lidl near us Sad. I don't like 'usual' trifle, it's full of icky stuff, like fruit.

The Heston Waitrose trifle doesn't look appealing either. The bacon and the squelching noise the spoon makes - ugh.

I'm making ginger bread trifle using this recipe but I'm not making the custard from scratch.

Yuck I hate trifle

Well nearly all trifle - I ate a ginger cake & mango trifle once that a friend made & it was quite edible.

The secret? No Jelly - so much nicer.

Still not nice enough to want to eat it again though.

Looks like fancy vomit in a bowl with sprinkles - bleeurgh

There would be uproar if I didnt make it Xmas Grin

You're full of Christmas cheer, aren't you?

If you don't like the look of the trifle, don't eat it. Nobody's going to force-feed it to you as if they're fattening you up for foie-gras.

Yup - bacon trifle

I like trifle. I like bacon. I like Heston. I like experimenting with new food.

This, however, just looks like a hot mess.

I don't think it looks too bad.
I only like trifle when there is no jelly involved.

My version is chcolcate brownie, banana, double cream whipped with lots of baileys in it and grated chocolate on top. It's a hit every year

Trifle isn't my favourite but I will eat it as long as nobody has put jelly in it.

I don't think it looks too bad and let's face it most people eat a fair bit of crap at Christmas which is no doubt while Lidl is sponsoring it

Trifle is the work of Satan. All of the worst things - cold jelly, cold custard and soggy sponge.

I have been to Marks to get my strawberry trifle - I would quite happily sit in bed and eat the lot.

YANBU.

I like trifle, but chocolate swiss roll with "cream" in, chocolate custard, cream-yuck, yuck yuck!

Nonononono. It's not a proper kids trifle as no jelly, & insufficient fruit. Nor is it a proper adult trifle as no sherry (or suitable alternative if you prefer). The wrongness of it all is just staggering.

It looked great until she added the orange segments.

Oh yes, and don't even get me started on the wrongs of long-life "cake" with so-called "cream" in it.

I'm making this but the gingerbread men my grandchildren have decorated are a bit more eccentric than that.
