Quoting peacetrain: Quoting Leelu: the trifle I grew up with was only served at christmas and contained, lady fingers, sherry, jello with fruit cocktail, custard, whipped cream and 100's and 1000's on top.
Is this the trifle you are referring to? |
Yes, Christmas or birthday parties. I never liked the sherry version .. . yuk. Another name for ladies fingers is boudoir biscuits and as a child I used to love eating these out of the packet. My family never used those but swiss roll instead, sliced. |
Oh, trifle, another one of my favorites!!! I am so hungry

Together? 
Perhaps your mum can use her Yorkshire pudding skills to make "Toad in the Hole" . .. my gran used to make this, minus the herbs and mustard.
