What happened to crumble deserts when they made the trip down here to NZ from the UK ? The crumble part seems to have turned from sugar, flour and butter into just a pouring of porridge oats and seeds ?

Just grumbling because I ordered an apple crumble and got something that looks like I should pour on yoghurt and have it for breakfast! :-)

This is crumble!

This is NOT crumble!

most crumble I have seen (in NZ) resembles your first picture - so I'd say you just got unlucky.
I'm sure the oat based crumble is much more healthy though.

edit: actually, according to wikipedia, the addition of oats was something done in Britain during WWII due to the rationing of flour and butter.
