Crumbles

[slowmotion]

Nooooo must be custard!!

We only pass this way once. We may as well enjoy it while we're here.

DOUBLE CREAM!

I'm unconvinced. Banana crumble?

Try it

Just pollished off a rather good rhubarb crumble I made earlier in the week. Nearly as good as gooseberry crumble which I've not had for years

Must admit can't wait for our rhubarb to be ready for harvesting

I have always got spare bananas and they always end up in smoothies.

I am going to give this a go. 👍

I'm SO nearly up for making this but I want someone cynical to do it first

I do savoury crumbles too. Swap the sugar for cheese and herbs...works as a topping instead of pastry for most pies, particularly fish pie. Leek, mushroom and feta crumble really good too

Oh, yes! We do this too. Mrs optic does a very fine Lamb crumble with Cheshire cheese and herbs in the topping. A great way to use up the remains of a roast lamb

Hmmmmm Banana crumble you say.......is it one of those recipes for using up brown bananas or does it need hard ones?

I have some that have gone brown and was going to do a banana loaf/bread with them, as that's always best with mushy bananas.

Crumble with creme fraiche btw, none of your custard or double cream odd ways.

Over the last couple of years i have been making various Crumbles myself , mainly apple and when in season other fruits .

Whilst talking with one of my work customers he mentioned that every so often he made crumbles as well , which surprised me somewhat , he then asked if i had ever tried banana crumble so said no but had wanted to make one , so today's crumble baking session was one large apple and mixed fruit one and a smaller banana crumble .
Well the banana was lovely and i will be doing another one for sure

Do you have the recipe?

Rhubarb and gooseberry.

Goosberry gives a nice tartness to the crumble which can be counterpointed against lashings of custard.

I do this regularly. Chicken & broccoli crumble is wonderful. Nice mushroom sauce to hold it all together.

I once had an apple crumble, where the cook had used leftover crumble mix straight from the freezer.
One problem. It wasn't crumble. It was grated parmesan.
1/10 Would not recommend.

Thanks for suggesting savoury crumbles. Sounds like an idea for tomorrow's tea.

Re the banana thing - I can never keep them in the house long enough to be ripe enough for cooking with. I do love my bananas.
