Strawberry Trifle
"Layers of strawberries in a fruit flavour jelly with sponge, custard and sweetened dairy cream topping . . . really tasty and a trifle cheaper"
The Co-operative has surpassed itself with a wonderful description of its 'Simply Value' 400g strawberry trifle, which is £1.50 worth of chilled additives. The ingredients, as shown above, are quite astounding. If you cannot make out the key elements, here are some in larger print:
Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Trisodium Citrate)
Stabilisers (Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Sodium Alginate)
Gelling Agents (Di calcium Phosphate, Diphosphates)
Colour (Anthocyanins)
Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of fatty acids)
Raising Agents (Sodium Carbonate)
Humectant (Glycerol)
The funniest and most preposterous thing of all, though, is NOT that the composition is just 4% strawberries, but the line which bothers to clarify the nature of one rather straighforward ingredient:
Egg (Free Range)
What the fuck? This horrendously put-together trifle has no nutritional value and a 'red' colour coding to warn of the HIGH content of Carbohydrate which sugars. With so much complete crap in it, why exactly would any cunt give a fucking fig let alone an egg to know that the latter was of the Free Range classification?
