To think chocolate ice cream with apple crumble is an utter abomination?

DH has just had a bowl of apple and raspberry crumble ... with chocolate ice cream.

Vanilla ice cream, double cream and custard were also available, but he went back for the chocolate. Not just chocolate but chocolate chip with chocolate sauce, which somehow makes it so much worse. AIBU?

Somebody's got to say it. LTB! Grin

I've not got over the sight of someone I thought better of ordering scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon and baked beans. Shock Envy Wrong, wrong, utterly wrong.

It sounds pretty good to me. I hate double cream and custard and vanilla is boring.

SrSteveOskowski · 07/07/2019 15:59

Chocolate and raspberry go great together though (especially dark chocolate) so maybe that was his thinking?
To be honest, I'd be more worried about mixing the raspberries with apple.

Yum

MustardScreams · 07/07/2019 16:01

I’m more concerned about raspberries in crumble Shock

userabcname · 07/07/2019 16:01

YABU! Fruit and chocolate go amazingly together!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 07/07/2019 16:04

Raspberries, orange, lemon, cherries, pears, bananas, strawberries - yes, they go with chocolate. Apples don't.

22Giraffes · 07/07/2019 16:05

YABU! I've had it many times (well just apple crumble no raspberries) it's delicious. I hate cream, and vanilla is my least favourite ice cream flavour so I see no problem with it Grin

Bleurgh that is disgusting, I'm with you op.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 07/07/2019 16:08

Personally I think the person that put raspberries in a crumble should be pushed off a cliff for crimes against crumble making.....

TremblingFanjo · 07/07/2019 16:08

Ice cream and crumble topping = yes
Chocolate fudge ice cream and crumble topping = yes
Chocolate and raspberry = yep
Apple and raspberry = yes

But not all together. Nope.

He has been known to have apple and peach crumble with chocolate ice cream.

Agree op

Buddytheelf85 · 07/07/2019 16:10

Well I think YANBU.

But I think there’s more to this than meets the eye. WHAT were raspberries doing in the crumble?!!

itsallafiddle · 07/07/2019 16:10

Raspberries work beautifully with apple in a crumble. Ruining it with Chocolate ice cream is shocking.

ThePinkCushion · 07/07/2019 16:11

Chocolate ice cream alone is an abomination.

HostessTrolley · 07/07/2019 16:11

ew.

Caramel or toffee ice cream are fab with apple crumble though...

Iggly · 07/07/2019 16:11

YANBU

Raspberries work very well though

orangeshoebox · 07/07/2019 16:15

it just doesn't go well together
but it's something dh would do as well. as far as he's concerned a dessert without chocolate is not worth having.

TremblingFanjo · 07/07/2019 16:22

Confession: twas I that put the raspberries in the crumble. They came from the garden and once I'd picked the insects out of them they were really only good to chuck in crumble or jam, and there wasn't enough for jam.

The only way to eat apple pie or apple crumble is with custard .

I can't stand it when you go to a restaurant and they serve apple pie with only cream or ice cream. I want piping hot custard damn it!

WeLoveToBoogieOnASaturdayNight · 07/07/2019 16:30

That's gross. yanbu

Bwekfusth · 07/07/2019 16:36

Disturbing. Vanilla or toffee ice cream? Fine. Chocolate? Certainly not. Do you even know who you married? Having said that, my OH ate leftover Chinese for breakfast this morning. Absolute lunatic.

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 07/07/2019 16:39

That sounds like a concoction my dad would eat

BeanBag7 · 07/07/2019 17:10

Yuck! My husband wanted to have chocolate chip ice cream with a lemon meringue pie the other day 🤢

ThatCurlyGirl · 07/07/2019 17:12

I am sickened by this. LTB, he clearly has issues Wink

There's obviously only one choice.

Carnation evaporated milk.

Must be served super cold on piping hot crumble just out of the oven.

So. Fucking. Good.
