[edit] Cobbler in Britain
A different, British meaning of cobbler is a savoury dish similar to something like a cassoulet, with thick, circular pieces of dough cooked on the top - basically scones. The cobblers themselves are the scones. See this recipe, for an example.Dancarney 08:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Basic Cobbler Recipe
I've moved the hidden recipe to the wikibooks cookbook ([1]) and added a link. PsychoPiglet 01 May 2007
[edit] American Cobbler
The article says of cobber, "It is usually a dessert in the United States consisting of a filling which is placed in a large baking dish, such as a Dutch oven, which is covered by a layer of pastry."
But you can see in the Wiki Cookbook (or any cobbler recipe) that a cobbler is made by placing the fruit over the batter in a baking dish. The batter bakes up and partially surfaces, but as is clearly seen in the picture of the apple cobbler in the article, it is absolutely not covered by a layer of pastry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.107.200.66 (talk) 01:24, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hot Or Cold Controversy?
This sentence..
"In the Southern United States, a well-known controversy has ensued for generations over whether cobbler should be served hot or cold."
..needs at least one citation to support it. I've never heard of it being a controversy at all..let alone a famous controversy. Between whom? I'm Southern and have cooked many cobblers without ever hearing such a thing. Cobbler is good either warm or cold..and their mouths are usually too full to complain.

- Well, I've looked and not found anything to support this cobbler controversy..what I did find is where others are anecdotal with weasel words ..last paragraph here..http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-fruit-cobbler.htm
If a real source over a real controversy can be produced, please do...but after 5 months, it is time to remove this as unverified. 98.16.32.152 (talk) 20:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
