MrM
What is your favourite crumble?
MrsM
Oh...I think plum.
Although I do like rhubarb.
And apple, of course.
MissM
What about blackberry and apple?
MrsM
Yes, perhaps that is my favourite.
Gooseberry, on the other hand,no.
I wouldn't be unhappy at all
if I never had to eat another gooseberry.
If all the gooseberry bushes in the world
were struck down by some terrible disease
I wouldn't shed a single tear.
MrM
But where would we have found MissM?
MissM
What do you mean?
MrsM
Surely everyone knows that babies
are found under gooseberry bushes?
MissM
Are you being weird?

I'm giggling too myself here. (although you did forget the most frequent crumble flavour in our house, which is gruffalo x)
ReplyDeleteOr Jumble crumble, which is what you concoct when you realise that half the plums in the bowl are mouldy and have to improvise at the last second...
ReplyDeleteOur favourite is apple, banana and mango, but wee I'll happily eat almost any other kind! Coincidentally, my mum hates gooseberries and gooseberries bushes, and so I was always told that I was a free gift with the cornflakes....
ReplyDeleteOne-oh-four x
.....and that should say "....we"ll happily eat..." Stupid iPad!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely rhubarb crumble--gooseberries best in ice cream form--then again I like most things in ice cream form! xx
ReplyDeleteRhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb.
ReplyDeletePriceless... Apple and blackberry for me I think although apricot is pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteGooseberry fool or syllabub is pretty top
ReplyDeleteas in more fool me ...
ReplyDeleteThe only crumble I had is apple. You people have now made me so curious about all the other options. Now, where to find rhubarb ... or gooseberry ... umph
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a gooseberry crumble in years, but I love it. In fact, I can't think of a crumble that I wouldn't like. Except pear. I really don't like pears. People probably don't make pear crumble though. Do they? xx
ReplyDeleteOkay, best is rhubarb dessert (which is my grandmother's recipe -- shortbread crust and rhubarb on top) and apple crumble. Or maybe peach -- peach crumble may be the best thing in the world. Forgot about that. Also, I think nectarines are dumb. There, I've said it.
ReplyDeleteAah but gooseberry with a little added elderflower cordial is a whole new ballgame
ReplyDeleteI haven't made crumble since I was at school and that was a long time ago, so I'm not sure which I would choose. I do know it wouldn't be gooseberry, hairy little critters.
ReplyDeleteRhubarb all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the stork bring her? I'm sure mine were stork-brought, while I came under the cabbages. That might be why one day the Brothers tried to leave me out under the cabbages (I was crying)
ReplyDeleteAnd the best crumble is blackberry and apple.
We are good friends with the man responsible for importing gooseberries into the US. I will tell him about PART of this post.
