- Title:
- Morisqueta Is What Morga Called Cooked Rice
- Description:
- It was growing in the Philippines and insular Southeast Asia when Renaissance explorers arrived. Rice was the common native fare for Filipinos he wrote. (In Tagalog it is kanin.) Morisqueta means roughly “food of the Moors.” They introduced rice (originally from China) into wheat-growing Spain; Spanish introduced rice to Mexico and other parts of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Arroz is Andalusian Arabic from Arabic aruzz, meaning rice.
