Paul Callus Poet Epulaeryu

A Maltese Trifle

Pretty crystal dish that holds
A rainbow delight
Layers of coloured custard
Jam spread sliced sponge cakes   
Sprinkled with sherry
Meringue topped
Dream!

Timothy Hicks November 10, 2014 at 10:20 AM Crystals and rainbows all in one - and you say this dish is here on Earth, correct? Never heard of this food before, but your descriptions make it sound tantalizing. Paul Callus November 10, 2014 at 3:18 PM It is a Maltese specialty, easy to make and very tasty. But like all sweets, either you like it or you don't. Maybe you could tempt someone at home to make one!:) // paul

Paul Callus November 8, 2014 at 7:04 PM Trifle is one of my favourite sweets; my mum used to insert layers of ricotta mixed with cordial peel....mine is less complicated, but hers tasted better! she also sprinkled coconut on top with chocolate, instead of the meringue. // off to bed; will be back to you...tomorrow...goodnight! // paul
