Blimey! These really are difficult.

Well done, Ruby, I didn’t know that, but now you’ve mentioned it, I’m sure that you’re right

I randomly think I know 6 but I’m stumped on everything else. Although I would have guessed canteen too Fanny

I think 6 is catamaran. I had a clever sailing friend years ago and this is the sort of information he would have imparted by-the-by.

I think 4 might be bistro - one boy did Russian A level at my school, and I think he used that - I could well be wrong though.

I agree with Casdon that it's bistro for no 4 and think no 8 is Hussar.

Grannmarie, no 1 is definitely chocolate.
It’s an Aztec word. The Aztecs invented chocolate (hence the name of the much missed Aztec bar).
They consumed it as a drink with added chilli (Don’t so this at home!)
I know this as The Aztecs are on the Year 5 curriculum.
It wasn’t my favourite topic
