So what’s the difference?

Last week I made a peach cobbler and it sparked a question from one of our readers. “I'm curious as to what is the difference between a cobbler, grunt or a buckle? I have heard all of these terms describing what appears to be the same thing.”

I passed the question on to the reference librarian at Multnomah County Library. Let me just say, they Rock! You can call up and ask just about anything and in a couple of days, boom, you’ve got answers and source material. So I want to give a special shout out to Pauline for the help finding this info. Here is the basic breakdown, but there is more info at these links. It’s definitely worth checking out.

Betty – A baked pudding or casserole made of alternate layers of fruit, tossed with sugar and spices, and breadcrumbs. Apple Brown Betty made with brown sugar is the best-known betty.
Buckle – A buckle is like a single layer cake; Blueberry Buckle is the best known of the old recipes, but any berry can be used. Buckles most often have crumb toppings.
Crumble – This British sweet is made by covering raw fruit with a crumbly pastry mixture before baking. The crumble often contains oats and nuts, in addition to flour, butter and sugar.
Cobbler – A deep-dish fruit dessert covered with a rich biscuit dough. The fruit is generally thickened with a little cornstarch or flour. Dough is cut into biscuits and the rounds are laid on top.
Crisp – Prepared in a shallow dish with fruit on the bottom and the crisp on top, a crisp can be made with any fruit and usually has a bit of flour or cornstarch added for thickening.
Flummery – A pudding made from stewed fruit, generally thickened with cornstarch, most often berries, sometimes with milk or cream. Grunt – An old-fashioned dessert from New England, usually made with berries or apples. The fruit is stewed with sugar and a soft biscuit dough is dropped.
Slump — See Grunt.

So I'm currious to know what everyones favorite is. I think mine is a crisp.
