To think the trifle looks awful and a waste of time

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.

It simply can't be any worse than that 'trifle' Tom Parker Bowles threw together on the telly the other day.
Custard? That was vanilla stock.
Why, I nearly threw my third chocolate muffin at the screen.

I think Trifle is much better without the sponge in - lovely cream, lovely custard, lovely jelly with fruit in, squidgy soggy sponge Sad Stop ruining jelly, sponge!

God I love trifle...

That trifle looks rank.

I much prefer my own homemade sherry trifle mainly sherry .

I'm doing a Chocolate Cherry Trifle, but I do individual ones. I make a chocolate cake and then layer it with custard, cherry pie filling (that I make), and my husband likes cherry jelly in his. I don't do alcohol and no soaking the sponge.

Ah, just realised they're not selling it. Urgh, making stuff, effort

I feel your pain Reinbeer

I felt the same when I looked in my cupboards today and there was NO FOOD! Nothing.

There was just stuff to make food with . . . Sad

TheSlaughterOfHerodificado · 22/12/2016 15:52

Glamorous

They look like an Unholy Army of The Undead.

I couldn't sleep with gingerbread men advancing across my trifle like that.

Surely the addition of orange segments makes it healthy, no?

*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.*
I;m totally over christmas, im on to easter at work.

I know right, Slaughter? The food we have seems to be wrapped in some impenetrable material such as metal or plastic, making food is just impossible....

Bobsmum02 · 22/12/2016 16:04

I refuse to believe that there are people in the world who do not like trifle! My favourite is the old school birds packet mix ones...always make one on Christmas Eve!!

YoHoHoandabottleofTequila · 22/12/2016 16:09

I love trifle but Heston's bacon and banana trifle looks like one of the most disgusting thing I've seen. I hate the squidgy noise in the advert.

TheSlaughterOfHerodificado · 22/12/2016 16:44

BACON? In TRIFLE???????

Surely this is the end of civilisation as we know it?

That trifle looks revolting.

Something so off about the custard. Out the carton. It kinda reminds me of all those you tube videos of American cakes where all you do is open multiple packets and add butter..

Doesn't anyone actually make anything any more.

I couldn't sleep with gingerbread men advancing across my trifle like that.* The gingerbread men the grandchildren made are even more scary!

Kel1234 · 22/12/2016 19:55

I'm making trifle from scratch. I love a good homemade trifle

bertsdinner · 22/12/2016 20:19

I reckon I could handle the bacon in Hestons trifle, its the banana that puts me off. It looks so brown and thick and stodgy. I hate over ripe bananas, they remind me of nail varnish.
I do like a nice trifle though.
