Early 17th century (denoting a stew made of different kinds of meat): from French, literally 'rotten pot'.
This is a mix of different sites not really worth a report on their own.
All definitely rotten in their own sweet way.
First Cobweb cottage with it's own rather sweet barn

& finally I had a few hours to burn before the ferry back to Dover so I poodled about around Dover ending up in Wissant where I spied this on a hill above the town. However just as I jumped the wall to get in a British thunderstorm opened up and it poured down with lightning & thunder for an hour or two so I had to make a run for the car so's not to miss the ferry. If it had been dry I would have tried getting up to the first floor.

Thanks for looking.
 
A very sweet smelling mixture here - to use accepted modern English meaning of potpourri, which Infraredd's introduction clearly alluded to. Enjoyed this selection very much.
