Just pondering- how do you pronounce 'crumble' in French?

Crumebel - at least that’s how I heard it pronounced in France recently.

yes, much more like it.

Crumbler au Rhubarb?

When staying at BiL’s place we’ve often made a crumble with rhubarb out of the garden, plus any fruit that needs using up - strawberries from the local supermarket never for last more than a day.

Do the French serve them with crème anglaise?

It HAS to be custard surely???

It's the same thing, surely? Only one is cooked for longer.

We buy the readymade Madagascan Vanilla custard from supermarkets. Anything for a short cut!
DH does like Ambrosia, though. (Other makes are similar and readily available.)

Yes, le crumble has been on the menu in France for over 20 years.

Yes, spot on. You have been able to buy books of crumble recipes, sweet and savoury in Leclerc for a very long tiime.

The French will be telling us they invented it next 😁

It's so much easier to make than pastry.

this is just sick!

How about May 1940 then? 🫣

Macron certainly did not crumble, so what is your point?

Well, I'd say it's truly NOT funny at the moment and probably not a good joking subject.

Macarons shouldn't crack! They've not been whipped enough!

I thought this was a reference to Macron and Putin (I’ll get me coat)

This is because many years ago I introduced my French DIL’s mother and grandmother to them and custard as well 😂

Crumble used to be very popular here in Normandy, but I haven't seen it for ages. Still lots of teurgoule, the rice pudding with cinammon, allegedly invented after the capture of pirate ships carrying spices to Le Havre.
Our farming friends said it was best to use milk straight from the udder and bake it in the cooling bread oven overnight.

Creme brulee is another dessert which is claimed to be French ,but might be English and known as Trinity Colllege Burnt Cream .

Always mix crumble mix by hand, and add a handful of oats for extra crunchyness. Takes minutes.

I don’t like English custard, the bright yellow gloopy stuff, but do like crème anglaise. Paler, more runny and preferably cold.

Bird's custard doesn't have to be thick and gloopy- and adding a bit of cream makes it far tastier and nicer and an extra drop of proper vanilla essence. Creme anglaise is made with eggs, and so is 'proper' English custard.

Alfred Bird invented custard powder, without eggs, to help his wife’s allergic intolerance of eggs. In 1830s.

Streuselkuchen has always been very traditional in Germany- which is crumble tart. Pastry, fruit with crumble topping.

Oh and at school
