  • Sponge in trifle. Who the hell wants soggy sponge? It’s almost as big a food crime as putting cherry in chocolate cake.

    I used to agree with you. I hated trifle because of the soggy sponge when I was a kid. 40 year old Stonehedge loves it though...maybe its a middle age thing.

    I loved it because of the weird bittersweet flavour of the soggy sponge, which I didn't realise at the time was sherry. 40-something year old me sadly doesn't get to experience proper trifle much anymore, but I have such a distinct memory of my first encounter with it as a kid (my dad brought a big serving back from dinner in a napkin! he didn't like desserts)
