Moorish Food

Its a modern saying to describe something that is tasty. Once you taste it you want more, so it becomes 'Moorish'. Bad English I know but that's the way of the world today.
You may be confusing it with the word Moorish which describes the architecture and culture of the Moor's of North Africa who invaded Europe to spread the religion of Islam during the middle ages.
Morgan Freeman's plays a Moor in the film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'

You may not know this but since the end of the Seventh century,the Moors(Islamic warriors) were in control over much of Europe trying to spread the teachings of Islam. From the Mediterranean all the way up to present day Austria,Denmark,and Sweden,the Moors had an influence not only on the culture,but on food,and architecture.

lol my wife got caught out by that one too. It's not Moorish as in the Moorish race, it's More-ish, like "you keep wanting more of them"...

It means it's the kind of thing the inhabitants of North Africa would be into. I wasn't aware they liked scones, but I don't know everything, despite my stupid name.
Morish, on the other hand, is self explanatory. It means you want more of it.

Ok, you have one scone, and it makes you want more, thus, moorish.

It's not 'moorish' it's ' more-ish'...makes you want more.
It's the pronounciation that prompts the incorrect spelling.

It is 'moreish' and means that you fancy 'more' of what ever it is, e.g., scones etc.
