The Turkish name for cracked wheat is bulgur, a word English adopted directly from Turkish in the 1930s. Many centuries before this, however, Arabic had adopted the same Turkish word as burgul, a term that English then borrowed in the mid eighteenth century, spelling it burgoo and using it to refer to a porridge made from cracked wheat and eaten by sailors; in North America, the word also came to refer to a stew or soup eaten at outdoor feasts.
