Nothing to do with erotica or writing, but I figure someone might know the answer, so why not ask? So, here's the deal: I was not raised in a household where there was a lot of baking (cookies now and then, sometimes brownies were about it). I am familiar with cobblers only by way of having visited a "cobbler" shop once upon a time. The cobbler I ate was the sort with fruit and a biscuit topping.
I am now doing a lot of baking and I decided to make a cobbler. In going through recipes, however, I found that there are two kinds: one is the type I've had—baked fruit with a biscuit (biscuit-like) topping. The other is made by scattering fruit (like berries) into a batter poured and baked up in a pan.
So, now I'm curious. They seem so very different from each other. Is the difference a regional thing? In one part of the country the biscuit topping one is the cobbler and pretty much everyone makes it that way, in the other part of the country the baked-in-batter-fruit is a cobbler and pretty much everyone makes it that way? Or are both types made wherever cobblers are made and it's just a matter of which recipe someone wants to go with?
