Actually that's perfectly possible - though it would in fact be simply adding another step in mispronunciation. All these fortified wines date from the time when for one reason or another, the English couldn't import Bordeaux, and ordinary table wine couldn't stand the journey across the Bay of Biscay. I think you'll find this was quite a while AFTER the Moors were evicted from Spain. I don't _think_ the English took the name from the Moors directly , though I could be wrong here.

Hi Ian, Sure, "chopped" is the translation of "haché", but I presumed that an Anglosaxonian would understand "hacked" that way in that context? "Chopped" in the Scandinavian languages would be "hakket" (N,DK) and "bifteck haché" in Danish is "hakkebøf".. :-) Anders
A firewall... ...and a fireplace in case they get into anyway hacking our meat!
