Our Comments:

Cobbler is a traditional dish in both the United States and the United Kingdom, although the meaning of the term is quite different in each country. In the United States, it is usually a dessert consisting of a fruit filling poured into a large baking dish over a batter that rises through when baking. The batter forms as a dumpling within the cobbler as well as a crust for the top. In the United Kingdom it is usually a savoury meat dish, typically a lamb casserole, which is covered with a savoury scone-like topping - each scone (or biscuit) forming a separable cobbler. Fruit-based versions are also increasingly popular in the United Kingdom - although they still retain the separate cobbler (or biscuit) topping of the meat version - and savoury or meat versions are not unknown in the United States.
