I was looking for recipes for onion bhaji (I know how to make them, it couldn't be easier, but I wanted to check if I could substitute some ingredients and if there was a way to make them in the oven rather than deep fried) and I saw this...

"A healthier alternative to the deep-fried onion bhajis you find in Indian restaurants. These are baked and exceedingly tasty. They are sweet, tender and very Moorish. Serve hot as an appetizer or starter."

I wondered if the use of "Moorish" was
a) a mistake, they meant moreish
b) intentionally referring to the "Moorish" style of cooking
or
c) an intentional pun playing on the homophone from a) and b)

My immediate reaction was b, but I didn't know the word, "moreish." I had to look it up. Now I see how c seems sensible.

Interesting. My immediate reaction was an autocorrect error for a). That's possibly because "moreish" is more common in the Uk than in the USA.

My immediate reaction was like yours, Geoff - I thought it was b.
