I find the note about the English "trinity" to be a hoot, but not exactly an actual description. I don't even think the joke is common. There's more evidence for the following:

Catalan comfort: A Barcelona cooking school reveals the holy trinity of grape, grain and olive, writes Judith Elen http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20731211-33837,00.html

"Beyond the Holy Trinity of bread, oil and wine, Spanish cuisine boasts a cornucopia of diversity..." Lonely Planet World Food Spain (Lonely Planet World Food Guides) (Paperback) by Richard Sterling

the holy trinity of Native American cuisine -- corn, beans and squash. http://www.sallys-place.com/food/ethnic_cusine/us.htm
