Would a truffle be more common in found in the ground or the name of a custard and jelly dessert?
You are confusing "truffle" and "trifle" here. A TRUFFLE is a fungus found underground, usually rooted out by dogs or pigs, and extremely valued and high-priced due to its distinctive flavor and rarity. A custard and fruit or jelly dessert is known as a TRIFLE, and is rooted in English cooking. Commonly, a trifle is a custard layered with pieces of fruit or fruit jam...and may also have long slender cake-style cookies called "ladyfingers" lining the trifle dish. There is another type of TRUFFLE, too: It's a bite-sized piece of candy dipped in chocolate, and having a soft creamy chocolate center. It's named "truffle" for its resemblance in looks to the truffles found underground.
What is a ladyfinger?
I hope you're not thinking it's what it isn't. What it is: a small, soft, elongated spongecake. Maybe at some time it struck some baker as being reminiscent of a lady's finger. However, I've never known of such a lady or her finger. If you've ever had what's called a British Trifle (sometimes called, simply, a Trifle) ladyfingers are what line the outside of the dish (inside the dish are layers of custard, jam or jelly, sherry or liqueur and cream). BTW: ladyfingers have nothing to do with James Bond.
