Yesterday evening I concocted a delicious zucchini and goat cheese crumble, inspired partly by this recipe on Marmiton and partly by the lovely little volume on the right.I guess I'm in a cross-cultural mood these days, so I started to wonder: has France out-crumbled Great Britain?
It does seem that every French cooking magazine I've read for the past few...years...presents a new version of "le crumble."
Well, I'm happy to inform British cooks that you are still crumble champions, at least according to my highly scientific study:
Google.com references for "crumble + recipe" = about 1,760,000
Google.fr references for "crumble + recette" = about 1,360,000
Yet it looks like the French could catch up...
Question pour les lecteurs et lectrices francophones: que penser de cet engouement pour "les crumbles?"
(P.S. Just in case the person who left the slightly snide anonymous comment on my "Halloween in France" post on La France Profonde is reading:
No, I don't "expect" the French to start baking crumbles and crisps like crazy. It just seems to have happened that way...)
