| On one of those police pursuit dramas on TV some kids were running through a farmers market and broke something. The lady who ran the booth complained to the police that the kids had broken one of her mason jars of "raspberry compost". I thought the writers of the TV series were just off.
Then I find a reference in a book Around the States in 90 Days to "desert with a raspberry compost". Is there really a raspberry compost that can be sold in a mason jar and served with desert? |

| Gotta love those illiterate cooks and t.v. writers! When I was a chef, I was a bit of an anomaly because I could could spell. At least I could proofread the menus... |

| Very Funny ;-) Raspberry COMPOTE ;-) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wolfgang Puck's Raspberry COMPOTE

| Maybe the writers were, in fact, so super-literate that they decided to do part of their script in ancient French, reinserting the 's' where the circumflex is nowadays ...... but somehow I doubt it. |

| I learned that you always want two servings of dessert. |

| Thanks. I wonder if it could be what linguist call The Cupertino effect defined as "modern affliction of spellcheckers wreaking havoc on unsuspecting documents"? |

| dottyinduncan - maybe with a good helping of compost the desert will bloom. |
