Brandy:
1657, abbreviation of brandywine (1622) from Du. brandewijn "burnt wine," so called because it is distilled (cf. Ger. cognate Branntwein and Czech palenka "brandy," from paliti "to burn").
| I'm wondering why the English borrowed the word from Dutch. |

I didn't realise, but you are clearly right. I got brandy without any problem. And the only thing I can ask for in dutch is a baguette with ham and cheese and a milky coffee. 
@ Luis. You are kind to the point of dishonesty, my dear

Broodje gezond: you need to add lettuce & tomato to the ham & cheese.
Koffie verkeerd: coffee with a lot of milk (I was confused by your milky coffee, I thought that you ment this). |
