[edit] Drink or dessert?

This article is very confusing; is compote a drink or a dessert or both? If it is both then there should be two sections to make that clear. As it is the introductory sentence isn't consistent with the rest of the article. Could someone clarify this? IronChris | (talk) 19:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

Is it particularly necessary to rattle off all the languages in which this term has a similar name, or even cases in which it doesn't? Particularly since the one from which it comes, French compote, is not in there? -Djcartwright 06:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I slightly changed it with the rewrite, I am not all to certain that it is all that accurate in stating that the names are of drinks. I'll be doing some more research on the topic.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 02:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

The section on Compote as a drink is directly lifted from the Jewish recipes site as of July 11, 2007.

What "jewish recipes site"? When you comment on Plagiarism, please provide a website address to we can verify. --RossF18 23:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Which book of Robuchon was cited to. He has written a few and providing Robuchon's name and page numbers is not helpful for verification. --RossF18 00:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
