Angel Delight is a powdered dessert mix produced in the United Kingdom. It is designed to be whisked with milk to create a sweet mousse-like dessert. [2]
Angel Delight was released in 1967 by the Bird's company, [3] in a strawberries-and-cream flavour. By the 1970s, Bird's had doubled the market for instant desserts. [2] After a lull in popularity during the 1980s, a revival campaign, featuring Wallace & Gromit, was run in 1999. [2] In 2006 the brand was the best-selling line in the UK instant cold desserts sector. [4] The brand is now owned by Premier Foods. [5] The dessert was named Britain's 'favourite childhood dish' in a 2015 survey by Food Network. [6]
Angel Delight is currently sold in five flavours: [3] [7] strawberry, butterscotch, chocolate, chocolate mint and banana. No added sugar variants [5] of butterscotch, white chocolate, and strawberry flavours are also sold. [3] Currently, it is available in three quantity variants: four-serving packets, twelve-serving tubs and single-serving ready-to-eat cups (launched in 2017 in an attempt to modernise the brand, with an accompanying digital marketing campaign). [2] [8] Not all flavours are available in all size formats; for instance, tubs are only available in strawberry and butterscotch flavours. [9]
Discontinued flavours include: coffee, coffee walnut, black cherry, blueberry, peach, lime, lemon, blackcurrant, bubblegum, tangerine, vanilla ice cream, forest fruits, popcorn, candy floss, butter mint, White Chocolate and raspberry. [8]
Trifle is a layered dessert of English origin. The usual ingredients are a thin layer of sponge fingers or sponge cake soaked in sherry or another fortified wine, a fruit element, custard and whipped cream layered in that ascending order in a glass dish. The contents of a trifle are highly variable and many varieties exist, some forgoing fruit entirely and instead using other ingredients, such as chocolate, coffee or vanilla. The fruit and sponge layers may be suspended in fruit-flavoured jelly, and these ingredients are usually arranged to produce three or four layers. The assembled dessert can be topped with whipped cream or, more traditionally, syllabub.
Finnish cuisine is notable for generally combining traditional country fare and haute cuisine with contemporary continental-style cooking. Fish and meat play a prominent role in traditional Finnish dishes in some parts of the country, while the dishes elsewhere have traditionally included various vegetables and mushrooms. Evacuees from Karelia contributed to foods in other parts of Finland in the aftermath of the Continuation War.

Aero is an aerated chocolate bar manufactured by the Vevey-based company Nestlé. Originally produced by Rowntree's, Aero bars were introduced in 1935 to the North of England as the "new chocolate". By the end of that year, it had proved sufficiently popular with consumers that sales were extended throughout the United Kingdom.
Magnum is a brand of ice cream and the company's namesake, originally developed and produced by Frisko in Aarhus, Denmark, a part of the Anglo-Dutch company Unilever.

In Greece, the Magnum brand name has been owned by the Swiss company Nestlé since 2005-2006 following the acquisition of the Delta Ice Cream company, so the Unilever ice cream uses the name Magic.
YoGo is an Australian yoghurt dessert snack made by Bega Dairy & Drinks. It comes in a yoghurt tub filled with chocolate custard. Its mascot is the YoGo Gorilla, who mainly became popular from commercials throughout the 90s to the mid-2000s. There were calls in 2018 for the YoGo Gorilla to be removed from packaging in a push to reduce the promotion of unhealthy products to children.

Parlour now competes with bigger brands of ice cream such as: Chapman's, Breyers and others.

Pie in American cuisine evolved over centuries from savory game pies. When sugar became more widely available women began making simple sweet fillings with a handful of basic ingredients. By the 1920s and 1930s there was growing consensus that cookbooks needed to be updated for the modern electric kitchen. New appliances, recipes and convenience food ingredients changed the way Americans made iconic dessert pies like key lime pie, coconut cream pie and banana cream pie.
