My best friend took me to lunch yesterday (I just love her, we've been pals since Kindergarten). Anyway, we ate at a local diner style place that does everything home made from their pies to their salad dressings. She had an omelet and I had biscuits & sausage gravy. (I had to bring half of it home for dinner.)
On each of our plates was one of those little metal cups that come with au jus or horseradish sauce at a steak house. It looked like something golden brown with whipped cream and a blueberry on top. My friend is more adventurous; she said it tasted like apples. I tried some and agreed that it did, plus it was delicious. It was like a puree, but had a very stiff texture. The waitress said it was made from peaches and mangoes. I didn't get a chance to ask her what it was called. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I keeping thinking "compote", but I thought that was a chunky fruit thing...

I've heard of peach mango salsa. Maybe it was that?

I've not seen peach mango salsa except at Costco -- and it was rather juicy.

What a small appetite you must have! Leaving biscuits & gravy on a plate is an insult to the chef in my home-spun book of dining etiquette. 😉

Whatever it was, it sounds like one of those cleanse the palette things, for after meals?!?
