Yeah so work happened. And Gmail had a hissyfit, and then the trains had a hissyfit, and I am having a womb-bleed, and therefore I consider it a miracle that I have neither screamed at nor cried on anyone today.

ALL THE FOODS HERE MEET MY APPROVAL.

Except trifle.

[apiphile]

All the more trifle for me.

[wolfy_writing]

Not screaming or crying is a major accomplishment under the circumstances.

I've never had trifle. What's in it?

Ooh, birthday list! Fun!

Trifle is traditionally sponge at the bottom, with jelly/o on top (sometimes with fruit in it), cold custard on top of that, and whipped cream on top of that (sometimes with a cherry on top). Posh versions also have alcohol - sherry or cointreau - in the jelly. It's usually served at parties or as an alternative pudding to people who don't like Christmas pudding, at Christmas. :D

Interesting! I don't think I've seen that anywhere!

When I was scuba diving in Indonesia, there were these giant sponges that looked like purple underwater castles. Could you make a cake-type sponge that looked like that, and put in the trifling things to make it a dessert?

[apiphile]

That would be an innovative way to do it... normally the sponge is just a base. Perhaps ... TRIFLE BOMB?

omgsteak. and pickled beets. and salmon sashimi. this question on this meme is making me so hungry.

[apiphile]

I take it you follow the food porn tumblr for additional hunger-taunting?

[tsuki_no_bara]

but of course! it has two things i love - food and interiors - in one convenient "oh god now i'm hungry" package!

Chocolate trifle yes, other sorts not so much. As someone who likes their custard cold and thick, it weirdly doesn't do anything for me in trifle. (and cream makes me nauseous, which I think it a dairy intolerance thing I am steadfastly ignoring)

I wrote a thing for fascionishm but I've left it in drafts for now because I don't know if it's the sort of thing you want. I have been naughty and direct linked all the pictures, but I can go back and do it properly if you want.

[apiphile]

Wait what's chocolate trifle?

You're supposed to save everything as a draft anyway, so that's fine. (I've said that so many times I'm starting to wonder if I should just staple it to my face!)

I wonder if my gmail ate something - all I got was the invitation email, no instructions. I just kinda figured out I wasn't meant to just post shit from the fact no one else had :)

[apiphile]

I had to resend yours and didn't type in instructions the second time.
