I don't thing it sounds disgusting. It's probably pretty good, though that
might depend on the quality of the pudding that goes into it. My problem with
it is that real millefeuille is a top rate pastry IMO, and this pudding and
graham cracker concoction is not even a good imitation of the real thing.

This sort of cheap knock off reminds me of a complimentary tiramisu we were
given in a local restaurant as a result of them screwing up my wife's order. It
was a nice gesture on their part, but I learned not to order tiramisu there. It
was made with a sponged cake base, which would have been acceptable for that
dish if it had been a decent sponge cake. Instead of a filling made with
marscapone cheese, egg s and whipping cream they used a poor quality pastry
cream. The real travesty was the flavouring. Instead of espresso and rum, they
used artificial rum flavouring. It was disgusting.

Another similar type of disappointment would be to order an English trifle and
get something made with cheap cake, dream whip and jello. It just ain't
Trifle.
