I love benchmarks like that, although sometimes finding something that
lives up to that benchmark can be elusive.

I remember as a kid, we used to host bbq/parties every second weekend.
We had a friend staying with us once, and she made this huge bowl of
trifle for one of the parties. Somehow, it never got touched at the
party and the next day I tried it. Best trifle ever, just perfect. I
got to eat the entire bowl myself To this day, I've never come
across a trifle that came close to hers. I don't have much of a sweet
tooth but I do like a decent trifle.
