I totally get that a food blogger with a Del Monte deal would make a trifle to promote. But why does she have to be like this about it? First pretending that the only way to make trifle is when it looks like the one out of a packet. And then wanting kuddos from dad and kudos from followers because she got a smiley from dad. Isn't it her job to make food and write about it? Is there any other food writer this infantile online?

(Also, most food bloggers would have tried to put a twist on the classic - and not the 'replace anything with rinsed baked beans' kind of twist).
 
Fruit cocktail is an abomination that only reminds me of boarding school dinners, complete with fake cream. My bog-standard trifle has sponge fingers with jelly, fresh fruit such as raspberries or strawberries once the jelly has set, and then generous layers of custard and cream. No Swiss roll or fruit cocktail, ever. I make it to take along to potluck meals and even converted a German friend to the love of trifle 😁.

I am still on the last thread and not sure when I will catch up so just wanted to come on and wish those who celebrate, a very merry Christmas. I know many of us had plans that have had to change, and I am sure it will be difficult for some but I will be thinking of you all tomorrow if I don't get a chance to come on.

And for those who don't celebrate, well just, thank you for being part of the cabal anyway and keeping me amused/up at night 😂

 
That's one hell of a field of view perspective to make her hands look larger than her head. Plus practically folding herself in the middle to bring her shoulders together and forwards for the illusion of being teeny-tiny and frail.

it's essentially how anglers make their 3lb carp look like a baby whale. They don't try and chop one side of their face off to add to the effect, though.
