Personal Comments

The apple crumble is a typically English and the yoghurt cake is typically French. 
I have created this recipe in order to mix these two cultures together, and according to me, that symbolizes peace between England and France.
These two countries maintained an adversarial relationship before because of the Hundred Years War. 
The acidity of the granny apples symbolizes the war and the sweetness of the cake symbolizes reconciliation. 
About multiculturalism, the message that I have tried to deliver through this recipe is that there are many contacts between England and France and a lot of friendship or love between English and French people. 
England is part of the European Union and the English is one of the first languages learned by French students ; and to me, this recipe symbolizes exchanges, love, peace and fraternity between our two countries.
