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.

Our version was made with suet (there is a vegetarian variety of this too). Oh and that reminds me of jam roly poly and custard!!!! Syrup sponge pudding!!! And dumplings in stew!!!
Oh and now I'm reminded of a parent who came in to school and proceeded to tell her of an argument she had with her latest boyfriend. She divulged a great deal of 'personal' information but she did eventually got around to cooking. She was absolutely furious because the man in question had, as she said "dissed my dumplings".

Quoting teaschip: I will say southern people tend to be some of the nicest folks I have ever met. |
This is very true. My sister loved living down south. Of course my sister is a very sweet person herself. So extra sweet, that they would actually say to her, you can't be from up north, you are too sweet!! Me on the other hand, they would not even have to question!!
