Talk:Trifle

message: I am English (and therefore speak English) and have had many trifles (including one half an hour ago) but I cannot understand the sentence about "High Church". Could it be phrased better? At the moment I'm guessing what it might mean...could it be made clear?81.174.133.150 22:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Having just read the page on this (which in my opinion is pretty much describing a slightly different way to make a trifle), and having seen a few sites that talk about it as a variant type of Trifle (as opposed to the English kind) including the first of those two sites I link to above, rather than a similar but different kind of dessert. I'd forward that they should be merged, but perhaps there is some bigger difference that I'm not seeing? Anybody actually familiar with this first-hand who can comment?Number36 05:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Enjoying a trifle last weekend and wondered as a group, why do they call it a trifle?  Is it to do with "tri" or "three" layers?  Must be more to it!71.59.124.234 02:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why Trifle?  Or, what's in a name?

message: This was recently added by an anonymous user;
The original trifle comes from Utrecht in The Netherlands where it has been the traditional local desert for centuries. It was first brought to England by the family Klop, a family of ill repute forced to flee the country.
Sounds more than a little dodgy to me, is a major claim about the desserts origins, and couldn't confirm anything from a quick look on google.Number36 02:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm intrigued by the categorisation of trifle as "Louisiana cuisine". A quick Google search seems to suggest that the English brought trifle to Louisiana where it is popular. The same could be said of Australia, New Zealand, etc. If there are no objections I will remove that categorisation. El T (talk) 12:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Seriously, where did that come from? I've never heard of trifle containing seasponge... It does usually contain sponge cake, however. A Google search revealed that this article was the only place referring to the bizarre ingredient, and I have therefore updated the article accordingly. --Beeurd (talk) 20:59, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the second picture of a trifle added back in December since it didn't seem to add or show anything not already shown with the first picture, and cluttered up the text by the inclusion of too many images.Number36 (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The book, Trifle by Helen Saberi and Alan Davidson would no doubt be an invaluble resource for the page if someone has a copy.

message: err, I'm just some random person, but why does it say traditional trifles do not contain jelly, when about 4 lines above that is a sentence describing that trifle recipes have been recorded with jelly since the mid 1700's?  The source is just an online recipe entitled "traditional trifle".  Seems like removing that line would be logical, so I went ahead and did it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.117.131 (talk) 06:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry to tell, but our german Punschtorte is really something completely different and has nothing in common with trifle. It is a layer cake from bisquit, punch, marmelade and a thin sugar-frosting with a typical cobweb-pattern on the top. A little bit old-fashioned, but some like it on New Year's Eve (so I do).
: I second this. Punschtorte is a cake, which can't be said for trifle. The recipe in the link doesn't describe a Punschtorte - it describes the filling of a Punschtorte, which would normally be filled between two slices of sponge cake. Therefore I'm going to remove that sentence. --Suhusa2 (talk) 21:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Does the article at present give too much weight to the dish having alcohol in it? The lede section says; "commonly soaked in sherry or another fortified wine", which, while that's certainly not uncommon of course, as a type of trifle, it's just as common to see trifles with no alcohol at all.219.88.68.195 (talk) 06:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
