A broken apart fluffy pancake from Austria served with Marillenröster - something between a Compost and Marmalade made from apricots

I really hope it’s compote

I, a worm, hope for compost

Haha they definitely meant compote but here's an interesting fact. Compote comes from French compote which I thought had an accent on the o but apparently doesn't. When French has an accent over a vowel it typically indicates that an s has been dropped from old French, which would have made sense because the og French word was actually composte.

As a French speaker I had never heard of this, but I looked it up and it's indeed the case specifically for circumflex accents (ê, ô, â, î) and not the others.

A neat resource (in French naturally) that I found on this:

If lemmy has an active TIL community, this would be a fantastic thing to post to it.

I'm a native English speaker so I'm sure it's one of those interesting things they taught in school that a native speaker would have no need to learn. But it explains why many English words have an s when the modern French word doesn't since so many words were borrowed into English from Old French.

At the start of the word it's an acute accent. Like in école or état.

Zwetschgenröster oder Apfelmus, du Züpfeklatscha!

I prefer Kaiserschmarrn with applesauce

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Applesauce is a gift of the gods for pancakes, Kaiserschmarrn, Crepes, lots of things, really. The yanks love drowning their stuff in tree sap, but applesauce is superior, that's just a fact.

"Broken apart fluffy pancake" certainly describes Kaiser Wilhelm II in the post-WWI era. Excellent naming, Austria.

Looks like a side of curry there 😅 but real talk, Kaiserschmarrn is delicious!

It's not the same dough as pancake dough though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it definitely is not, but that's the best way to describe it to someone that has never heard of it

Kind of looks like Greek bougatsa

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It looks awesome. I would try this without hesitation!
