We went to a wine tasting / pot luck recently.  The food had an English theme and I chose to bring dessert, so a trifle was my first choice.   So after some great wines and a meal of very tasty dishes, we dove into the trifle.  I had not made it for a while, but after one bite, I and everyone else confirmed that the English get a bad rap for their cuisine.  This dish is beautiful and tastes as good as it looks.
