Today I learned what "compote" is. It can mean one of two things, one delicious and one nasty sounding to me.
Common preparation of a compote is a cooked dish of fresh or dried fruits, simmered whole or in pieces in a sugar syrup.
A compote can also refer to a game meat dish containing rabbit, pigeon or partridge, cooked in a roux for a long time over low heat with bacon, and pearl onions until the meat has completely cooked to a fine texture.
Father's Office, which houses one of the most critically acclaimed hamburgers in Los Angeles offers Compote on their burgers. Dried fruits on my burger? Gross. I'll take a whopper.
