Crumble: Hot Or Cold?
Crumble. Obviously the Pudding of Champions.
But the big question is, is it best piping hot, straight from the oven? Or cooked and then chilled, straight from the fridge?
As a bonus, please tell us whether you like it with cream, ice cream, custard or another gooey delicacy of your choice.

Hot - if it goes cold then next day heat it up in the microwave. It should be hot enough for the fruit to be glowing like a steel furnace !
Accompaniement depends on type:
Custard - apple, gooseberry, blackberry and apple
Ice cream - rhubarb, blackcurrant, fruits of the forest, peach-raspberry and mango
We had apple & rhubarb crumble for teaBazinga !

A bit of custard, a bit of cream, it'll remind you of your best dream.

Hot Rhubarb & Apple crumble with lots of custard please............what time are you delivering it then?

Of the two choices i'll go for hot with custard.
I wouldn't eat it chilled as such, but i most often eat it unheated, or room temperature rather than actually 'hot'.

Gooseberry crumble, hot with clotted cream.
Rhubarb crumble comes a pretty close second though.

Well I had it cold tonight and it was LOVELY! I don't understand you all wanting it hot. A day in the fridge after cooking and it goes delightfully stodgy, and the flavour of the fruit is tremendous.
what time are you delivering it then?

Hot with custard is obviously the only way to have crumble. I the King of Crumbles have spoken.

To get technical for a minute, surely flavoured ice cream with crumble is just going to completely bugger up the mix of flavours - you'd have to have a simple flavour like vanilla or you'd lose the taste of the crumble filling.

Yes, If, if I had to have ice cream with my crumble then it would only ever be vanilla. Or custard flavour, not that you can get custard flavour ice cream, but if you could that might be allowed.

Rhubarb is nice but an aquired taste. Sainsburys have a deliciously looking pear and blackcurrent crumble but (i) it couldn't possibly be as nice as it looks (ii) supermarket crumbles are always a bit iffy... they never get the topping right and (iii) a nameless boy isn't keen on the dark fruit crumbless
As a rule, I prefer blackberry and blackcurrent fruit crumbles, preferably with apple, and plum. But apple on its own is reliable and, in its own way, always the default option, benefitting as it does from a close relationship with its monumental pudding cousin, the Apple Pie.

Apple crumble is the King of Crumbles & is the only one I'll eat. I'm not a fan of fruit generally & I can't stick Rhubarb, gooseberry's etc. I would like to try & Strawberry or Raspberry one but never have.
As for serving suggestions, Hot with Ice Cream (Vanilla) or Cool/Room Temp with hot custard.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I adore cold crumbles. It's the only way to go! They're so much sweeter when straight out of the fridge. And as one or other of the Si's said, "it goes delightfully stodgy". So there you go.
There is one exception however, and that is rhubarb crumble. Eaten cold that is unbearably sour. It must be hot with lashings of custard. Hooray for custard.For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.
...Oh, who am I kidding?
