Crumble
Umm!... Apple and Blackberry Crumble – with home picked apples and
blackberries from the local fields. This is the most English of
institutions. After a slap up Sunday Lunch of Roast lamb,
Yorkshire puddings and the rest why not layer on the calories even
further with this English Treat!
“A bit of custard, a bit
of cream – it’ll remind you of your best dream!” – it’s comfort food at
its best, it’s a reminder of childhood, puddings at school and visits
to your Aunty Dorothy. Everyone knows what a crumble is in
England and noone has exactly the same thing abroad. They think
they do but it’s just totally English. Apple Crumble is an icon!

Lorraine Bowen
Musical Entertainer
Lorraine Bowen is a cabaret artist who is well-known for her
“Crumble song” performed on a 1983 Casiotone Organ held up by an
ironing board stand. She has recorded for the BBC and has had
many of her own shows in the West End and abroad.
Four albums of English songs about Cups of tea, Composts and Burgers
complete an eccentric and wonderful persona of British-ness. The
Canadians have called her an English “National Treasure” and you can
still see her perform at many cult, trendy places in London.
