A crumble is a sweet or savoury meal that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Crumbles gained popularity in the United Kingdom during World War II .when the topping served as a cost-effective
alternative to pies due to rationing of pastry ingredients. There are some different stories behind the origin of the name. The widely accepted version is that the berries would drop off the leaves and become “strewn” concerning the plant. Overtime “strewn-berries” became “strawberries”.
