Well, as a professor of Japanese history, I’ve known this since undergraduate days ( = 40+ years ago). Castilla cakes-very popular in Japan, especially at the famous Bunmeido bakery where the walls inside one branch I was at a couple weeks ago had azulejos-are another of many things that arrived from Portugal to Japan (guns were another). Another fun fact: the Japanese word for bread-pan-is derived from the the Portuguese “pão.”

Portugal's influence on the world is enormous and unavoidable, ranging from gastronomy, architecture and even the simple habit of drinking the typical 5pm tea. What makes me immensely sad is the fact that Portugal does not have the respect and recognition it deserves, while other nations in the world are adored for the smallest things. I don't understand.

A correction. Marmelade comes from the word marmelada, that is made with marmelos (quince). If i recall, it is not a fruit that is original from the Iberian Peninsula. But, it is a citric fruit with thick skin. What the british consider marmelade, we call it compota, and what we call marmelada, the english speakers call quince paste or quince jam. The first that arrived to England was actually marmelada, but like the tempura, it was changed to come near to the original recipe with what they had available.

In the 1500's, the Portuguese Monks introduced fried seafood in Japan, during Lent. Since they were forbidden from eating meat during the 40-day period, they fried the seafood, Portuguese style, while reciting, in Latin, something like "ed tempora", meaning these are the times (for eating seafood). The Pasteis de Nata, like most Portuguese sweets, are made with egg yolks. The reason is that the Portuguese Nuns used to starch the garments of male and female clergy with egg whites. A great quantity of egg yolks was left over, making them the perfect ingredient for baking sweet pastries. The expulsion of Jews from Spain and Portugal was not done to avoid conversion to Judaism. It's all the way around. The Jews refused to convert to Catholicism, or converted, but kept their Jewish religion in hiding.

The jews that kept their religion hidden came up with a clever way to disguise them. Portuguese used to have "fumeiros" which is used to smoke meat, the Portuguese used those "fumeiros" to smoke "chouriço" which is made of pork. Since the Jewish people don't eat pork, not having a "fumeiro" was a strong clue that they were jews. So not only did they build "fumeiros" but they used them to smoke a recipe they invented called "farinheira" which doesn't use pork, but instead uses flour as its main ingredient (flour-farinha-farinheira), but they look like "chouriço". Even the Portuguese Jews were resourceful cooks.

I'm currently living in Spain, and I gotta admit, Portuguese food seems to be, on average, slightly better than Spanish food. There's no doubt, in Spain we have loads of famous delicious famous dishes, but on the daily, you know, when you go out for lunch on a workday, for the daily menu on the corner small restaurant, I think I got better food on average in Portugal than I do in Spain, also, bit cheaper. Interestingly, Portuguese people seem to eat a lot more of their "traditional/touristy" foods on the daily, than their Spanish counterparts, but that might just be my personal perception. In any case, visiting Portugal or Spain? Be ready to put on some weight, just don't be afraid to try new things, and if possible, travel/eat with locals and avoid the tourist areas of expensive restaurants. From my experience, the expensive places are not worth it, and the small Pop and Mom places, while not as fancy, or not as clean/new/shiny, the food, is godlike. Also, for my american/northern European brothers, be ready to see very few sauces. In Portugal and Spain, the food is usually simple when it comes to sauces. A lot of healthy and delicious olive oil is used, but stuff like Mayo or something, is rare. The Portuguese and Spanish have such fresh and high quality food, always available, that they seem to prefer to taste the actual food, instead of drowning it in sauces lol.

Portuguese bread and it's variaty also seems better than the spanish usually have. We (PT/ES) have good beer, awesome reds and white wines at much lower prices than the French and Italians! Our price/quality ratio is unbeatable!

You got good food too. Tapas, Calamares, Paella. We love those in Portugal too. Portuguese Food got more rich 'cause we went to more places in the Age of Discovery i think. And in terms of Fish and Seafood we're more exposed to the Sea so it's just normal that on all coasts of Portugal you eat great Fish and Seafood recipes. In terms of Meat there's no real difference between eating in Alentejo or Spanish Extremadura. The use of Porco Preto/ Porco Ibérico / Cerdo Ibérico is common in both sides of the Frontier. Just like Olive Oil. A lot of the Presuntos Pata Negra eaten there always came from Spain. Nowadays a lot are produced in Portugal but using that same label "Pata Negra". I don't know about Cheese. Cheese and Enchidos were always very common in Portugal. I think that's not really different in Spain. But i'm not sure about it. Portuguese tend to associate Spanish Cuisine with what we end up eating in Tourist Sites where we go for vacations in Spain. Obviously is not eating Bocadillos and Spaghetti in Lloret del Mar that you're gonna know Spanish Cuisine 😂A lot of our food was influenced by Arabs to begin (like yours) but also by Africa and Asia. It's not like we invented everything. We incorporated a lot of cultures into ours! On top of that comes the culture of Latin Countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy where a lot of family gatherings were always done around food and drinks.

I'm Portuguese and I agree 100% with everything you said. (Of course, Spanish vs Portuguese food is matter of taste.) I'll add that tourists should just ask locals about dish and restaurant recommendations, it's a lot more trustworthy than reviews on Google, etc. And about the sauces part, in most dishes, the sauce is cooked together with the food (instead of coming on the side, like in the UK and northern Europe) that's why there's always bread on the table - so you can soak up the delicious sauce from the place. That's also why we often serve both potatoes and rice in the same dish, which foreigners always find odd. The rice is meant to soak up the sauce so you can experience the full flavor.

Sometimes I feel that this lack of credit could explain some of the usual humbleness of the [my] people, as we got used to observing the internationalisation (and bragging) of other cultures. In our good days we're fine with that, not having to prove much to the world, but when in face of blatant ignorance or arguable misconceptions or commonplaces we may well have to remind a fact or two.

And often people get sick because of those plates made with heavy metals. Also she took in her doury the tea cups in chinese porcelaine. We the Portuguease left influences all over the world. The food here is great. And I hope you keep doing thease videos , I love to see my coulture spread by you and others. Living here is great. Althought most of Portuguease talk so bad of out wonderful country. It could be even better but out politicians are pretty bad.

That Chinese introduced to us! Let's be clear on that one! Just like Arabs introduced Ceramic Tiles (Azulejos) and Soap (among many other things) to us and to Spanish before we ever set sails! All Ancient Civilizations learnt from each other. We started sailing to find new territories before everyone else in Europe around 1419 after defeating the Muslim Moors and Conquering Ceuta in 1415. Even Spanish only started in 1492 after defeating the Muslim Moors in Spain. Dutch came afterwards. And British even later. Those +100 years of delay made all the difference. By the time British Kingdom started to sail we already were settled in Africa(1420), India (1498), China (1517), Japan (1543) and Brasil (1500) trading all type of new resources to Europe.

I am from Portugal and to be honest while the Portuguese may be responsible for introducing spices to the Americas, the Portuguese did not introduce introduce any spices to Spanish, Italian and French food. Most spices were brought to Europe by Arabs after the Umayyad conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in year 711 and Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) cuisine is mostly a legacy from Ziryab teachings in 9th century, Ziryab was a scholar from Baghdad sent to Cordoba Caliphate to teach the local Iberians how to eat and dress. The Moors stayed in the Iberian Peninsula until the fall of Granada in the 1492. Since the Moors were no longer in the Iberian Peninsula, spices become an expensive commodity and this what led the Portuguese to start its maritime expansion and conquer Ceuta other strategic places like the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz in Persian Gulf, this way the Portuguese could control the spices routes. The massa sovada type of dough used to be produced by Iberian Muslims in the Middle Ages, the most common massa sovada is Easter cake. The churros, farturas and malassadas (Azores) are not a Portuguese inventions, they are developments from Maghrebi sfenj, so the youtiao is most likely a Portuguese legacy in the Far East just like the tempura and the castella cake. The Portuguese word for tea is "chá", the Portuguese word comes from Arabic "šāy (شاي)", the Arabic word traces its roots to Asian languages. While it is true the Portuguese Catarina de Bragança has taken habit of taking the tea to the Britain, it is unlikely that tea was introduced in Europe by the Portuguese, it is more likely to have been introduced in Europe by Muslims after the Umayyad conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in year 711 just like the spices and dozens of other things. And Portuguese food can be spicy, you need to go Alentejo and the Algarve.

Listen... you have to be careful when reading Arab sources ok? If Spanish people like to pretend Portugal doesn't exist and when they can't ignore something they claim it as their own... (I even saw a comment here saying Magellan was Spanish because Spain gave him citizenship) Arabs do *the exact same thing* by claiming anything relevant or world recognized that the Portuguese and Spanish did. Once I saw a video here on YT of Moroccan guy (I suppose?) on an American University talking about "reconquista", he said Christians and Muslims lived peacefully with each other until the pope declared the expel of Muslims in 1492 or conversion thus beginning the "reconquista" . *I'm not joking, he said the reconquista started in 1492 and they all lived peacefully before* Al jazeera once broadcast a French series about sla..ry and guess what?

Yes, cabidela does come from Arabic kabdiya, the blood was added at a later stage, but it does not change the roots of plate. Yes, it was Ziryab who brought most recipes from Baghdad to the Iberian Peninsula, Baghdad cooking books were already famous across the Mediterranean in the 10th century, this is acknowledged by historians from several countries. The oldest known cooking books in the Iberian Peninsula were also written Arab, that's why you see similar dishes from Portugal to Persian Gulf. We have little choice and do have to rely on rely on Arab sources, because people like you decided to burn books in the Iberian Peninsula to erase history, exactly what you are doing on here by writing non-sense.

I grew up in South Africa, and we had a large Portuguese population in Cape Town, some fled Angola to Cape Town. The Portuguese then used a huge amount of olive oil, on most of their food and I love it. Many Fish and Chip shops had Portuguese owners. What i didn't like is that they ate a lot of fried foods. They made their own wine too. I enjoy your Videos and know a lot of people living in Portugal.

Hello dave nice work, allow me to explain why other Mediterranean foods are more famous. 1- Italians, simple, they have good food, a lot went to USA in the last century, shaping food culture in America. America was the major culture influencer in the 20 century. So Italian food is the most popular in the world. 2- French, double combo. French revolution, allow restaurants to be born plus not that long ago all scientific were written in French. Do they have a good traditional cuisine? Not really.. 3- Spanish, they are really good sellers, they understand how to marketing what they have, and they are great business men. Portuguese cuisine is far far way superior to all those 3, I mean, its not even close. Italian food is the one I can consider the closest but Spanish and French are terrible when compared to Portuguese traditional food. Why? Simple, we are a small country, we did not massacre millions like others have done (Spanish are the biggest mass murderers in human history.. and no one talks about it) on the other side we took other culture shaped it and spread it.. all over the word, Portuguese took all the best and compiled it into more than 800 traditional dishes. Plus we are the most friendly, not because tourist have money, that’s how we are.. Portugal is a hidden gem to be discover. Ps: Spanish have the best modern cusine, there is no argue about that, they are far far away from everyone else..

Although dave made a great job, we didn't influence the world the way he said. Portugal always were traders, so, inevitably we introduced a lot of stuff around the world, but that doesn't make it portuguese per se. Maybe I'm being pedantic right now, but aside from tempura, I think Portugal just helped with globalisation. Churros, that's not portuguese, we might've imported from China to the iberian peninsula, but that's spanish cuisine, not portuguese. I'm not denying that our ancestors had a huge influence regarding cuisines from all around the world, but we were mostly traders

@@iTa66 "Churros, that's not portuguese, [...]" That's right, it is not! However, Farturas -- the Portuguese chunkier and tastier version of Churros -- have been popular in Portugal for a long time, long before those "Churros" were introduced via Spain. As someone born in Lisbon in the 1950s, I remember well how I used to buy them from street vendors and eat them as a treat when I was a schoolboy. In those days, the Spanish version called "Churros" was nowhere to be seen in Portugal! And, "[...] we might've imported from China to the iberian peninsula, [...]" Given how fried foods have been a popular staple of Portuguese cuisine since times immemorial, it is quite unlikely that those chunks of fried, sweet dough that we call "Farturas" in Portugal would have been imported from China...

@@iTa66 So, what you're saying is that there is no evidence as to the foreign origin of the Portuguese "Farturas"? Because, when you write: "[...] way before Portugal was even a country according to historians, there's no concrete evidence for either one of the hypothesis", without a semicolon, or even a full-stop between "[...] was even a country [...] and, "[...] according to historians, there's no concrete evidence for either one of the hypothesis" you are leaving the interpretation of that sentence open to a lot of ambiguity... By the way, if the Farturas in Portugal had a Spanish origin, don't you think that they would have kept the original Spanish name "Churros"?!

Well being half Portuguese American ( I grew up in Hawaii), I have eaten a lot of tempura, but always thought it was of Japanese ,in origin. Asian (fusion) food is popular in Hawaii. I love Portuguese Sweet Bread, Malasadas (sweet donuts), very available in Hawaii. Yeah, my Grandfather was a Crane Operator on the plantations of Kauai. I didn't know that about Huli Huli chicken, or the Ukulele. Oh and my Aunt used to eat a lot of sardines from the can. Yeah being Shippers, explorers and Colonizers they brought/traded many goods. The Portuguese seem to be big on citrus too, oranges. My mom said her Grandma cherished her OJ tree.
