What is this "What is the best bit of a crumble?" question thing?

Surley the best bit of the crumble is the eating?

No, that's the proof of the pudding.

Now to troll this thread, which is bestest?

Ice cream (what flavour), custard (warm or cold), tiptop topping, condensed milk, creme anglais, cream (both single, double, and whipped)....let the battle commence.

Definitely hot custard.

As long as it is custard.

The best bit is where the brown sugar on top has gone all brown and crispy in the oven and it cracks when you dig your spoon in.

Ice Cream- toffee
Custard- either or, just give me custard
Tiptop, condensed milk, creme anglais, cream- don't think I've experience creme anglais so the vote her would be for clotted cream.

The first bit. Everything else is just leftovers.

Or the middle bit - when you can 'tidy up' by collecting more top or bottom (whichever you prefer).

Or the last bit - scraping all the crispy crunchy goodness from the sides. Just to reduce the washing-up, natch.

Or, for me, the everyone around the table bit.

Any part of crumble, the way my mother made it. I think she used oats and molasses sugar for the topping.i have yet to taste any other crumble that isn't a poor second.

I may have her recipe floating around somewhere, sadly she's not with us any more so no more of her crumble for me :-(

Finally made crumble.  Now home grown rhubarb is lovely.  Better than farmed.

Finally made the crumble to replicate the delicious topping that's baked in the restaurant at work, thanks to this rubbing in technique .
