It's a trifle extreme...

If Extreme Trifle had been founded some centuries ago then the history of human exploration would have taken a very different course.

Christopher Columbus would have drowned having barely left port. Neil Armstrong would have fallen off the moon and Marco Polo would never have invented the mint.

Today, we like to uphhold the spirit of those early pioneers while trying not to hold up the traffic.

Rumour has it we have actually almost planned something. No one is quite sure HOW or WHAT yet, but at least we have a WHERE. The countdown is on to… 

Because travelling to the other side of the world to twat about on mopeds is exactly the right thing to do.

Can I make my own Extreme Trifle?

Yes you can! Just follow our 5 steps. That’s 2 more steps than it takes to get to heaven, according to Eddie Cochrane, but as a wise man with a wispy beard once said, even the long journey requires the first step. Here it is!

  • Step 1: Invent a time machine (we've tried, the results were disappointing)
  • Step 2: Transport yourself back to 2003 (somewhere in the Sahara desert)
  • Step 3: Assemble a group of naive travellers that barely know each other
  • Step 4: Make sure you are magnificently lost and have no food
  • Step 5: Get creative*

*start searching your vehicle for anything that might resemble food. Look under the seats, in the glove compartment, even under the spare tyre. Bring your collective findings to the campfire and try not to look too despairing. 

Et voila – you have everything you need for an Extreme Trifle. It was a moment never forgotten and a few months later became the name of the loose group of like-minded adventurers now known as Extreme Trifle.

Ingredients

  • Tangerines
  • Sesame seed snaps
  • A bottle of whisky
  • Stale croissants
  • A chunk of Edam cheese
  • A tin of custard
  • Toilet roll (on standby)

Method

Throw the whole lot in pot and mix together with an oily spanner. Just as you are about to serve it up make sure a late arrival kicks sand over the pot.
