Rhubarb Crumble
Rhubarb Crumble gets its name from the crumbly appearance of the topping. It is usually served with custard or ice cream, and it is delicious hot or cold.
This crumble was served in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by Harry's friend Ron's mother. Harry must have liked it a lot!
"Three helpings of rhubarb crumble and custard later and the waistband on Harry's jeans was feeling uncomfortably tight (which was saying something, as the jeans had once been Dudley's)."
