Arrive carrying cooking utensil and dish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compote

'dish' is the definition.
(I know that compote is a type of bowl)

'arrive carrying cooking utensil' is the wordplay.
'arrive' becomes 'come' (synonyms).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'cooking utensil' becomes 'pot' (pot is a kind of cooking utensil).
'come' going around 'pot' is 'COMPOTE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for compote that I've seen before include "dessert dish" , "Fruit salad" , "Stewed fruit dish" , "Come top (anag.)" , "Fruit cooked in syrup" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
