It comes in a bowl and that's all I know.

I think it's a fruit desert, with the crusty topping "crumbled in" on
the top, and then baked.

My grandpa, who was from Georgia, used to take day old corn bread and
crumble it into buttermilk. This was considered a treat. It was quite

The crumblin "recipes" (actually more like commentary) describe it as
day old cornbread crumbled up into buttermilk - These comments were all
found in Texas and Georgia cookbooks.
