Dear Jazz: I got a surprise when I looked up potpourri, in particular from the etymology.

5Fr < pot, POT1 + pourri, pp. of pourrir, to rot, transl. of Sp olla podrida: see OLLA-PODRIDA6
1 orig., a stew
2 a mixture of dried flower petals with spices, kept in a jar for its fragrance
3 a medley, miscellany, or anthology

I am so used to its meaning fragrant flower petals and herbs for pleasant aroma, that I never thought of its being edible. But that etymology - pot of rot! Do not even mention such a thing to dear wow!
