    It's not 1861 and we're not living in f*cking hovel. We don't scrape the earth back looking for spuds. We don't ration food from one end of the year to the next and we certainty don't need this miserable excuse for a f*cking dessert raising it's ugly mutilated and molested slop bucket face every year. Ban the f*cking thing.

    Just dont eat it then

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Mmm the lusciousness that is trifle. How would you get the cake and the fruit and the sherry if you were living in a hovel? And the creamy custard and the whipped cream? That satisfying 'glup' as the first spoonful comes out of the bowl. And ma trying to serve it tidily and the fellas that have hoovered up the first serving coming back to be in first for a refill.

    Op is right , trifle is hideous. Only beaten in the disgusting stakes by bread and butter pudding.

    Trifle? Love it. I had a bowl full at 2am today.

    We'd have it many times through the year.

    Jelly, fruit, desert wine, sponge, cream. What's not to like?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    Lets all ban something cos you and a small group of people don't like something, yay.


    I love trifle me :3 I wish I had one right now, if I weren't poorly.

    I''m not sure where you got the link between trifle and a hovel. Trifle has a long and illustrious history, during which it has rarely strayed far from the grandest of tables. It's actually far from peasant food.

    It's probably too rich for an unsophisticated palate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭Corpus Twisty


    I think it's pudding it too strongly to make such a pavlova over a mere trifle like this. Eton mess is where it's at. So much meringuey, fruitey goodness. Another bowl? I wouldn't say no..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    I't beautiful and something I look forward to. Banned?

    Quit trying to trifle with our annual eating of trifle!

    Glurpy granular filth. I denounce it!

    If it's ugly, why molest it??

    You American Pie'd it didn't you and now the guilt has set in.

    You'll feel worse when they all sit down for a bowl of it today knowing you have added your own special glaze.

    Trifle is A1.
    3 things that are served up as dessert and MUST be banned are rice tapioca and semolina. Now they are abominations not fit for eating. Tasteless unappealing and downright awful cheap shyte.

    Probably hungover. Irony is that a good dish of trifle would help recovery...

    I like trifle. But that is a short but pretty decent rant right there.

    I've even given you a thanks for it. Keep up the good work.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,099 ✭✭✭johndaman66


    I wouldn't be inclined to trust someone who doesn't like trifle....its a sign that they are a mentally, pysically and emotionally weak person who cannot be trusted.


    Plum pudding on the other hand...now thats some shoite to be assaulting your stomach with.

    Ooooh you nearly had me thanking you there. Then bam, you come at me with the pudding thing.

    I can ban you too you know. I can ban ALL you blasphemous bastards.

    I had trifle for my bedtime snack last night, and trifle for breakfast this morning and right now my granny is making me another trifle to eat today. I love trifle.

    Do not trifle with my trifle. :(

    All the trifle lovers regard a Sundays Carvery a treat no doubt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭Azalea


    Trifle is delifle!

    It can be awful - the really dry hard one (from extra long stints of "setting") and the really runny one. But the in between is just luscious. My mother's trifle is sumptuous!

    Uh-Oh, we have an expert here on what people should enjoy. Everyone pay attention.

    Only tasteless savages enjoy trifle, and you don't. That's where we're going here, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 761 ✭✭✭youreadthat


    Some people just hate stuff that doesn't seem exotic as being as multicultural as possible is like a class symbol in today's society. It's like people who hate their hometown to an excessive degree even though they grew up with the cosiest life imaginable.

    Maybe, but I'd bet there's a degree of what youreadthat refers to also.

    Listen, as long as you can buy trifle in Marks and Spencer's it's posh.

    I had to go to my aunt for christmas. My mother was invited so of course I had to take her. Starter was half an egg with a dollop of mayonnaise. Then there was the standard Turkey and ham. Someone decided we would retire to the living room and have dessert later. I then had to endure three and a half hours of my mother, aunt, two uncles and aunt's husband gossiping about people from their hometown that I know nothing about with Irish TV on in the background. At least there was the Christmas pudding to look forward to.

    Yep, it was trifle, two thirds of it was custard. There is nothing more disgusting than cold custard! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    My mother makes the most delicious trifle. It's my great-great-granddad's recipe and it calls for no less than 2/3rds of a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Creme in it. Absolutely savage!

    Okay, you don't like some desserts, but what have you got against commas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    Nowt wrong with a nice carvery neither.

    Sure nobody is forced to like trifle. No need to whinge about other people liking it either, no one can force you to eat nothing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭caille


    My mother's trifle is the biz, she has converted trifle haters with her fantastic concoction. It has half a bottle of brandy in it, really good quality custard, home made madeira cake in the jelly part and the cream is mixed with baileys and chocolate chips. It is just the nicest thing ever. I do my own version in individual glasses and people say my trifle is the biz as well (I put white and milk chocolate chips through the cream in mine).

    When you get bad trifle, it can scar you for life :-() My mother's one is the cure for that!
