Zuppa inglese isn't soup, city chicken isn't chicken, Boston cream pie
isn't pie, the stuff with elbow macaroni isn't goulash. People give
fanciful names to dishes The OP wanted to make something nostalgic
for her dad, she gave a list of the ingredients as well as the name so
it was clear what she wanted, it doesn't matter what it was called.
Well, as one of my coworkers is fond of saying, "No good deed goes
unpunished."
