| 词汇 | burgoo |
| 词源 | burgoo. The rich southern American stew called burgoo probably takes its name from a similar stew that American sea- men used to make, which, in turn, may derive its name from the Arabic burghul, “bruised grain.” The word, however, is first recorded out West as burgou, in 1837, and may be a corruption of “barbecue.” Someone has noted about burgoo: “No two peo- ple tell the same story about its origin and no two people will give you the same recipe.” |
