Trifle report

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Tonight at the back of the refrigerator, behind the butter, I found half a jar of Georgian walnut preserves.  The perfect accompaniment to any trifle.  I can as well report that with my flour based pastry cream recipe there has been no syneresis, even after several days.

 

I also found an open jar of Dijon mustard.

I know there are uncounted variations of trifle but I do hope the discovery of the Dijon did not in anyway tempt you to create yet another.

Wait, I’m sure we need a “Savory Trifle” topic…if we don’t already have one!  
Maybe a Pigs in Blankets Savoury Trifle for the holidays?  I think a little Dijon would be perfect in that. 

 

kidding, just kidding

Am I a bad person to put ice cream on a trifle?

Not if you have no chantilly cream - hell even if you do!

Such an act may not be judged as morally reprehensible but might offend the sensibility of some… let’s say those with even a sliver of a gene dating back to King Arthur. In other words a Brit of any stripe. But carry on. Best not to waste that trifle.

@Anna N 

 

the badness scale , for the use of ice cream 

 

relates only to the temp of the ice cream 

 

@ the time of consumption :

 

rock hard :   pretty bad 

 

etc.

I'll take that as a "yes".  One person and a trifle is a bit like two people and a ham.

My late mother was enormously proud of her trifle, the only dish she was ever proud of. 

 

She only ever made it for Christmas dinner. We all ate it politely.

 

I guess the French don't really do trifle.

What was your mother's trifle like?

Both of course.  I assumed that went with out saying.  Reprise tonight.  Good I must say.

Not like trifle.

My mother's 'recipe' for trifle was largely canned mixed fruit in syrup and powdered custard. She never made a real custard in her 92 years.

I go back to Harry Hornes or Birds every time. Just doesn’t taste like trifle with real!

Birds for my mother. I am sure the same tin supplied about ten years worth of Christmases. I haven't had a trifle since I left for university 51 years ago.
