In search of a new name for trifle...

Trifle is such a traditional British desert, and over the years many versions of the classic sweet dish have evolved. I think the time is right now to evolve a new name for “trifle” … it seems very dated and doesn’t really match the new more exotic versions .. any suggestions??

I dont think there is another word that can replace trifle, it immediately brings that mouth wateing picture to our minds, yummy blow the calorie counting!

IMHO I think the name trifle should stay. British classics don't need to be renamed.

If people want to make variations on this dish then they should feel free to make their own recipes and call them what they will, but leave our original classics alone. 😮

Trifle is one of my favourite desserts - a classic dessert with a classic name. I would like the name to remain unchanged 🙂

Actually I think you are right Chrissie!

Maybe we should just not use the name Trifle in the new versions and come up with an alternative, but leave the Classic version alone? After all the Classic Black Forest Gâteaux has kept it heritage along with many others!
