perhaps if Mum had cooked less-sweet crumbles back in the '50s to early '70s, I'd like them that way now.
Perhaps, but perhaps not - my mum doesn't like sharp flavours either, and always cooked bland fruit dishes when I was a child, but I grew up to love sharp flavours like lemon and rhubarb.
The funny thing was that Mum did like sharp flavours - she used to buy that 'PLJ' lemon juice concentrate, and either drink it unsweetened in hot water, or add it to black Earl Grey tea. I tried it once, and found it quite undrinkable! Her apple and other crumbles and pies, though, were always plenty sweet enough for me; perhaps she was cooking for Dad's fairly sweet tooth rather than for us young 'uns.
