Crumble or pie?

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Harvested a load of rhubarb the other day.

Had a crumble last night- seems to suit it more than a pie.

Apples on the other hand, definitely a pie.

Is a crumble a northern thing, or countrywide, and what's the preference of wwers?

They used to do chicken crumble at Mt primary school 😳

Love both, but crumble slightly edges it for me.

Hate rhubarb, though.

This is definitely a thread for @tomski, and I reckon he's a crumble man, with custard

Sacrilege!

Not a fan of gooseberries though. 

We've created a bed full of different berries this winter. Will have a lot of tasting to do later.

This. Rhubarb is bloody lovely with the right amount of sugar to balance the tartiness.

Nooooo.

Got to make your own. Cook the fruit to your own preffed level.

Then lash it with your preferred accompaniment. That's another debate. 

Evaporated milk, cream, ice cream whatever.

I've never heard of "Rhubarb pie" either. Never heard anyone ever talk about rhubarb outside of growing it or having it in a crumble. Until this thread.

Manchester tart with rhubarb instead of the jammy layer is food of the gods.

Not got time to mess about making one that wouldn’t be better than the one I buy…especially as it’s only £2.50.

You don't know that until you have a go!
