i dont mind a bit of jelly- hell, why some nites i positevely encourage it!  but aint there somethink in trifle thats a bit gritty n biscuit-ey or somethink? i hjave a vague recollection of some type of layer of cat litter being involved in the construction of the trifle, and that my friends was the bit i objected to. little gritty crunchy bits. but now i think about it blamance (sp) was a bit suspect as well, i mean what exactly IS it? ITS somethink masquerading as somethink else no doubt.. all custardy n creamy n weird.. the jelly was the only bit you could trust, when it came down to it. if you was in a sticky situation and you had to count on one of the components of a trifle to help you out when thnigs got a bit sketchy, i'd put my faith in the jelly, qwuite frankly. |

No. No. No.
A proper English trifle has no jelly.
Sponge cake (with or without some jam on it) soaked in sherry, some fruit (optional) like raspberries or thinly sliced fresh peaches, topped with real custard, not the stuff out of a tin or packet. Then some thick cream. That's all you need.

I couldn't possibly eat a trifle with no jelly! Sponge, jelly and sherry, (fruit optional), then custard, then cream, and if you wish I will allow grated chocolate or sprinkles on top. Perfect.  |

Birds Trifle (in a box) for me - strawberry of course. A triumph of the modern age. Perfection in a packet.

There is jelly in trifle cause you add the lil pack of jelly crystal things to water and then pour on the rusks, but its not like normal jelly. It's a special kind of jelly. So there  |

what is 'the rusks' ? is that the cat litter bit?
i remember a singing trifle from somewhere as well. i think it was button moon.
My parents took me to see Button Moon at a theatre when i was 6 years old and i never came back.

Yep, that's the cat litter bit. It always reminded me of baby rusks.

There is definitely no soap. You people are on drugs or something.

Trubs is right. Trifle doesn't have jelly. However, I believe there are ready-made desserts which are (wrongly) called trifle that have a sort of jelly in them. Bleurgh. So, ya boo. |

but aint there somethink in trifle thats a bit gritty n biscuit-ey or somethink? i hjave a vague recollection of some type of layer of cat litter being involved in the construction of the trifle, and that my friends was the bit i objected to. little gritty crunchy bits.
