no longer popular!?
" Kompot was still popular in the 1970s." is that supposed to mean it's not popular anymore? This sentence is probably true (kompot was still popular then) but redundant in that it creates a temportal designation which is totally extraneous. Kompot is still very popular today - an obvious eating in a Polish home. Zbihniew 16:53, 17 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zbihniew (talk • contribs)

Kompot vs. compote
Kompot and compote appear to be essentially the same thing -- and with the same name! In fact, in many Polish/Russian/... cookbooks, the English name for the dish is given as 'compote'.

The only difference I can see is that in Eastern European cuisines, the juice of the compote is often served separately as a beverage. That is certainly worth noting in a merged article. --Macrakis (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

There is no Eastern European cuisine or Western European cuisine. The only difference between KOMPOT and COMPOTE is the way it spells, on in Polish Latin, the other in French Latin. Compote in Africa will still be the same compote. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

You know, in Ukraine it is Компот and has also some little different ways of preparing, but at the end it is the compote. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:52, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Kompote is not a drink.
Kompote is just boiled fruit preserves. Referring to it as a “drink” is odd and inaccurate for Balkan people. You can drink the liquid in the preserve if you wish, just as you can drink pickle juice if you wish. 67.87.192.80 (talk) 21:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Not only for balkan people, but all of east europe... ~ RobertErnest (talk) 20:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * These two articles are in dire need of a cleanup, and perhaps a merge. Most of the countries listed in this article (supposedly about the "beverage") consider compote/kompot a dessert. 212.108.221.126 (talk) 11:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

French Expand template
Do not worry, the French expand template is here to expand from Kompot article in French not the French dessert called Compote. Altitud49 (talk) 12:24, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

The correct English name is “canned fruit” 178.143.149.228 (talk) 07:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
