I like crumble, and I have fond memories of being trusted to make my own small apple crumbles as a child. It was always so simple and yet satisfying to rub together the flour, butter and sugar. And yet, somehow I've lost the knack of late.
Being aware of my, traditional crumble topping, anxiety I was very happy to give the porridge, spice, wheatgerm and oil, good stir variety of crumble, a go. I wasn't disappointed, it was scrummy and sooo easy to combine, but unfortunately the Hubby was...he said those fatal words..."I prefer the way my Mum makes it!" So of course I rose to the challenge, and had a go at the flour, sugar, butter topping variety the following week. Hubba liked it, but I actually prefer the porridge type now, so, although I don't envisage making a crumble every week, I will try to alternate which topping I make ;-)
Which topping do you prefer? With chatting to friends, I'm finding the flour, sugar, butter topping seems to be the favourite of husbands/partners and sons, whereas us ladies like the porridge topping.
Would you agree?

I much prefer the flour, sugar, butter topping myself. The pub we went to when you visited me a few years ago makes the most delightful rhubarb crumble served with a scoop of raspberry ripplie - divine! :)
