You're right about the blueberry slump being like blueberry grunt - I checked around for recipes after reading your note. I didn't realize that it existed under a different name - the recipe I posted is from Connecticut, so it probably reflects that we call it "slump" there, rather than "grunt". I'm not sure grunt is a more appealing name, though, to give such a delicious dessert!
I'd have to agree with the reviewer about "The Real Jerk". I was disappointed on all 3 occasions I ate there. The food does not live up to its reputation. It's OK, but not stellar.
