Lik and "Kompot"

I don't think it's a "typical" expression but it does make sense that it's
compote (which is a very common fruit drink in Russia) rather than
applesauce (uncommon, if I remember correctly, as a food of choice for
people older than 2). Galya

Galya,
Here's the Russian text from Lik. The only difference from the English is the word "compote" instead of "applesauce." Is this a typical Russian expression?
