I've not had a trifle for years! I love a trifle 😁 I was going to make it from scratch but couldn't find vegetarian jelly in town, other than in a birds trifle mix 😂
Had Christmas cake for breakfast - enjoyed it at the time but slightly regretting it now 🙄 Nobody else is up yet, but I had to get up to let the chickens out, and didn't want to bang round in the kitchen. Planning pancakes for brunch when people start stirring (but since Mr Cheery and his friend didn't go to bed til about 6am so that might be a while 😂7 -
Me thinketh Mr Cheery and friend might not be up in time for lunch, nevermind brunch 😂.
Yeah, veggie jelly is hard to come by, although I think Asda do a powder one now. I'll have to stock up next time I'm near one.Live the good life where you have been planted.

I never bother with jelly in a trifle - sponge (with ample sherry), fruit (usually frozen due to time of year), custard and cream... solves the veggie jelly issue!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Ah, yes, but it also introduces sherry into the trifle - which, in my opinion, makes it inedible 😂themadvix said:I never bother with jelly in a trifle - sponge (with ample sherry), fruit (usually frozen due to time of year), custard and cream... solves the veggie jelly issue!9 -
