I’m clearly feeling slightly better as I’ve just spent a good ten minutes being furious about all the wrong trifles on the internet.

Excuse me, BBC Good Food?
This is an abomination.
There should be trials at The Hague for these.
*shakes head*
Nope.
😤
Honest to god I actually shouted
Shortbread biscuits? And gin? Nobody likes gin in puddings. I was an alcoholic and I wouldn’t even drink gin let alone pour it into my pudding. Hard no.
What is with all this custard at the bottom, bizarre cake placement thing? I haven’t found a single trifle on google images that looks like my dads trifle yet and it is upsetting
This is a sponge cake jammed in a glass, fgs
Absolutely not.
Greenery has no place on a trifle unless it’s green hundreds and thousands
Excuse me what
I think I might actually explode
The BBC! Again!
Even Gordon’s at it. I was almost fooled by this one at first glance but what is WITH this cake in the custard layer?!
Ah you can always rely on the Scots. ❤️ We’re getting somewhere now!
This ones got the customary can of fruit cocktail, and the Swiss roll, but all the things are in the wrong order?
I’ve saved the best-worst til last. I couldn’t speak for a full minute at this next one so if ever you want to flummox me in a debate, here’s your weapon:
*apoplectic noises*
And now, I’m off to make a PROPER trifle. Good lord.

More from Food

Friends. I would like to share my favorite food and drink discoveries from last year, many of which only came about because of the pandemic. Restaurants demonstrated their resilience and creativity month after month. Crappy photos courtesy of my phone. Long thread alert:

.@TheGreenZoneDC still serves some of the most interesting cocktails in D.C. To get them delivered, you have to purchase one food item. That's how I continued to fall in love with their muhammara (red pepper, walnut, and breadcrumb dip with pomegranate).
https://t.co/22lf4iRjib


.@SUSHITARO_DC shelled out for great to-go packaging worthy of what's inside. Like this tuna-only chirashi (tekka chirashi). https://t.co/U51mtcFWIn


.@BombayClubDC is becoming one of D.C.'s longest tenured restaurants. When you're really hungry and craving Indian, try their dinner tiffin with tandoori salmon, lasooni palak, dal makhani, lemon cashew rice, and naan. The lentils are so rich and smoky. https://t.co/r6GxIW64sJ


Whenever we celebrated a special occasion with a pair of friends in the backyard, we ordered a paella feast for four from @jaleo. Comes w/ a paella of choice, gazpacho, salad, bread, tortilla Española, and flan. You can keep the paella pan! https://t.co/LTnSBUi4nN

"Suprise, Kacchan!"

Izuku happily wiggles, hopping from one foot to the other like an excitable toddler, despite the fact that he's 6 foot something and a venerable powerhouse of a pro hero.

In his hand is a plate of… something… messy from each edge.


There's a message written on top in some sort of sauce, but the sauce had gotten absorbed in the rice. The mishmashed mush of vegetables (?) kind of looked like something you would pull out of a shower drain.

But the meat looks good? Browned chicken, maybe a little overspiced.

"The hell's this?"

"I made you dinner!" Izuku ushers Katsuki towards the dining table, hardly letting him take off his jacket first.

As soon as Katsuki sits, a napkin gets shoved in his lap as if they're at a fancy restaurant. Izuku becomes a whirlwind, flitting this way

and that in their home until there are a number of candles lit.

It would make the ambiance more romantic if it wasn't still daylight outside. It was closer to lunchtime than dinner, but Katsuki would let him have this.

He, instead, stares down at [the meal] and carefully schools his features. He isn't sure if he looks deadpan or intrigued like he means to, because as soon as he looks close, the veggies /jump/ on the plate, bubbling like they're still boiling.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
