  • Cultures and cuisines inspire each other all around the world, especially in the last few decades. But Portugal seems to be a special case. It's a not a cuisine that's in the spotlight a lot, yet a lot of very different countries around the world have a dish that has some sort of Portuguese influence. Today, I skim through some of the biggest examples of Portuguese food hiding in other cuisines and briefly look into the different historical reasons to how it happened.

    Here's a few more; Britain's national drink (tea) was taken to Britain by the Portuguese, and popularised the Portuguese wife of Charles II (Catherine of Bragança). Also marmelade is from Portugal too; 'marmelada' originally made from quince ('marmelo'), was given to medieval Portuguese sailors to combat scurvy. Finally, the practice of arresting fermentation to make fortified wines (like brandy, sherry etc.) was first used with Port wine, from Portugal (and, later, Madeira wine) in order to stop it turning to vinegar on long sea journeys. A correction however; In Portugal chicken peri-peri (known as 'frango piri-piri) is universally regarded as a dish brought FROM, not taken to, Africa. It is derived from the West African dish 'chicken cafriella' (made with palm oil and lots of paprika), popularised by Portuguese returning from Angola, Guinea Bissau and the São Tomé & Príncipe islands.

    Names origin:
    Vindaloo = "Vinha de Alhos" (wine and garlic marinade).
    Tempura = Time of preparation for Easter (Lent ?), in latin, "ad TEMPORA quadragesimae", because the jesuits didn't eat meat during Lent and deep fried their fish and legumes.
    Castela = comes from the expression "claras batidas em Castelo" (beaten egg whites) used in that cake. And it is very similar to a protuguese cake named "Pão de Ló".
    Foy Thong = "Fios de Ovos" (egg yarns), very common in Portuguese pastry.
    By the way: tomatoes, peppers and chillies, originary from the Americas, were most probably brought to Africa and Asia by the Portuguese sea trade routes.

    I'm Kenyan, and the Portuguese were also here first among the Europeans. With them they brought spices, and Kenyan coastal cuisine is the spiciest of all Kenyan foods. Of course tere is also some Arab and Indian influence in there, but that Portuguese touch is still there.
    A sidenote. Swahili, despite being a Bantu language with Bantu grammar has remarkably heavy Portuguese influence and loan words. It's like the English of Africa.

    A little correction. Portugal didn’t have one colony in India. Besides Goa, Portugal held Diu, Daman, Dadrá, Mangalore, Kannur, Kollam, Nagapattinam, Hoogly, and Bombay. Bombay was given to England as a wedding present for princess Catherine of Braganza, who married Charles II of England. Ceylon (Sri Lanka) has been a portuguese colony.
    In Japan, Portugal “founded” Nagasaky.
    Macau in China.
    And many other cities and trade posts in Africa and the Middle East, on the way to India.
    In Indonesia PT had Malacca (Malasya) Timor (Leste), the Moloucas, Sunda, Banda, etc.
    The Portuguese were everywhere at that time. They dominated the indian ocean.

    When folks talk about food from Europe they always speak mostly about Italy and France.
    Portugal has amazing food. Every small village has its own cheese, whine, sausage, bread, sauce recipe, etc. Lots of it is created to bring out the flavours of the ingredients, not hide or disguise them.
    It is usually not very spicy or hot, except for certain dishes, but it also allows to add more spices or making it hotter while not altering the recipe and taste too much.
    Pastries is an entire universe on its own. As well as bread.
    We influenced a lot of countries and cultures and were influenced as well.
    I think almost anyone can visit Portugal and find flavours they will enjoy.

    I grew up in Hawaii the Portuguese brought foods like Malasadas which is like a fried bread coated in sugar, Portuguese sausage which is linguicia for a very popular breakfast sausage. Tempura was brought in by the Japanese from Portuguese influence and loved by the Hawaiians also. The other item that Hawaiians love is Butter Fish on their Bento lunch plates which is battered cod fish similar to fish and chips in England. Portuguese bean soup is popular around any holiday or events. Also not on the food subject, the Portuguese also invented the Hawaiian Ukulele, and miniature guitar still popular in Hawaiian culture. The Portuguese left many foot prints around the world.

    Once in a Japanese restaurant I tried tempura on the advice of one of my friends. As soon as I saw it, I told my friends my mom used to cook this. That's where we learned it was Portuguese. My good old mom back at home was not one to cook international meals for her kids. Lol

The orange is a hybrid between the Chinese mandarin and the Indian pomelo and the Portuguese were frequently travelling between these two countries so I actually think they might be the inventors of the modern orange or at the very least the first people to bring orange trees to Europe.

      The orange is called "Al-Portucal" in arabic.
      Eating oranges prevent scurvy, which the Portuguese found very early. The Portuguese voyaged around the world, and scurvy was always a hazard. They planted orange trees wherever they went so they would have fresh oranges in each port of call., and introduced the tree and the fruit all around the world. These trees - and the fruit itself - became known as “portugal” in many languages, and Arabic is one of them. In Greek, the fruit is known as Πορτοκαλο, “portokalo”, and Turkish has also “portokal” for orange.
      In the Persian language, both the fruit and the country are called Porteghal (they have a slight difference in spelling but otherwise pronounced the same!) The native Persian word for a similar-looking but sour-tasting citrus fruit is "narendj" (which has the same root as the words orange, arancia, naranja, etc.) I can imagine how the sweet Chinese orange, first brought by Portuguese merchants into the Middle-East and Europe, was called "Narendj-e Porteghal" (Orange of Portugal) and then shortened to Porteghal. Same must have happened in the Arabic speaking countries. Basically, the fruit is named after the country (sources: www.quora.com/)

    Portugal has a very rich cuisine. The trades with other continents brought a lot of ingredients and condiments that were incorporated in Portuguese food. Some dishes can sound a bit scary for cultures that are not used to cook with almost every part of an animal or have so many different water species available. In Portugal, meals are a time to hang out with friends and family, so our food is more for our mouths than for our eyes. I love eating food from around the world and I love our Portuguese cuisine.

      I wonder if there's a video on the difference between adaptation to incorporate what new cultures and ingredients bring in, and adaptation for sake of emulating what they had at home.
      One example is the calabresa sausage, a staple in Brazilian pizza in place of pepperoni, but it was made by Italian immigrants trying to do the closest thing to italian calabria sausage but using local resources, but they would import or make real calabria the first chance they get.

    You could have mentioned pastéis de bacalhau, for example, which is a favorite dish in Reunion Island but originated in Portugal. Reunion Island was also discovered by the Portuguese long before the French took possession of the island. At a market in France, I met some Reunionese who were making Pastéis de Bacalhau, and they were shocked when I told them that this recipe came straight from Portugal! I'm sure you can find this recipe all over Asia too.

    I think the biggest thig about Portuguese food, is that it's more often than not fruits of hardship, made with very simple ingredients, and not much complicated processes. This allowed natives of the regions Portugal was in contact with or colonized to make them their own way, and appropriating them over time.
    My point is, if you change the process of baking baguettes or making a pizza, they're not the same product anymore. If you add another ingredient to a Feijoada, it still is feijoada. Portuguese cuisine allows for improvisation much more than other former colonial powers' cuisine, any I think that's what made this influence stay strong, but hidden in regional culture.

    There are so many Portuguese-inspired desserts in Thai cuisine. Granted they are quite similar to ‘Foi Tong’ (golden thread) in how they are made. But when you’re in Thailand, try ‘Tong Yib’ (golden cup-this is my translation so it could be wrong)‘Tong Yod’ (gold drops), ‘Kanom Kai’ (literal ‘egg snack’), and ‘Kanom Mo Gang’ (pot snack) they are all made with eggs which weren’t use in Thai desserts back in the day.

      Luk Chup is another dessert that that has come to Thailand from Portugal. Basically its marzipan that replaces the almond meal with mung beans, because, well, there weren't a lot of almonds growing in Thailand. I'm also a little suspicious that orange cake (Ton Kok? Kek Sôm?) wouldn't have its origins in Kudi Chin as well. At the very least, the Portuguese are credited in spreading sweet oranges around the world, so in part the oranges used to make orange cake may be sourced to Portuguese traders.

    Hi there! As a Luso-Brazilian, I moved from Minas/Brazil, to Lisbon when I was 10. Now, at the age of 26, I find this video to be epic and awesome! Here's my theory on why Portuguese food has invisible roots everywhere: Firstly, I believe Portuguese people are incredibly ingenious and courageous. Their food stems from a combination of spices and condiments they introduced to other places and brought home, with a strong Iberian influence (looking at you, olive oil!). Therefore, it's not just about the dishes themselves, but the ingredients they use, cultivated and influenced. Secondly, Portuguese people aren't boastful, which often leads to them missing out on well-deserved recognition for their contributions.

    As a proud Portuguese, I'd like to thank you for this video ^^ It is always fun to have people discover a little bit more about Portugal and how its people have subtly influenced the world. Yes, our location in Europe made us prime candidates to be the first to set our sights to the rest of the "unknown" world, but it was always our curiosity more than our ambition that drove us towards exploration. At least, that is how I always felt towards our history.
    I also believe that our influence is mostly unknown from the masses because of something the Portuguese always did and do to this day - we adapt VS impose. What I mean is, we have "our stuff" and we get to a new place and we use "local stuff" from the new place with "our stuff", that way it is both "ours" and "local", and it eventualy becomes "local" with "our" little and forgotten influence... That was pretty poorly phrased, but after seeing your video I believe you'll get what I mean ^^

      Just a small, but important correction: the Portuguese also shared what they got from Brazil with all over the world, they didn't only bring things to Brazil. 😉 Our nature is too diverse and almost everything grows here (exactly the reason why we became a Portuguese colony). What they shared from Europe is mostly their culinary techniques, but most of the resources were brought from Brazil, Africa, Asia to Europe.

    Portuguese colonised Malacca in the 16th century (1511), not the 15th 😊 Apart from Curry Debal, they also introduced "bahulu", which is Portuguese sponge cake (Pão de lô) as well as "Pang Susi" (Pão Docê) and "Canje Terigu" (wheat porridge).

      @@teklife yes. The Creole didn't change much, except for a few words derived from Dutch that took over in 1641 such as "atapel" instead of "batata" for potato, "kukis" instead of "bolinhos" for small cakes, and "doi" instead of "dinheiro" for money.

    Another curiosity.. , we arrived 250 years at Australia before Cap Cook!! Documented and proved recently by an Australian researcher what we already know for centuries!! 😊😊
    The Portuguese were the first ones to map and document the owl world, our mathematicians developed the instruments and the star geo reference techniques... Soo, there isn't a single navigation map that hasn't been made by the Portuguese, we were the pioneers.
    The British, the French, the Dutch.. All them made use of our navigation maps, all them... ☺️
    Oh and if you have curiosity check "Portugueses Jesuit Priests" in Mongolia and deep Russia also.. You will be surprised how deep land we reached in search for new routes to make business!😏❤️
    Guess once the Portuguese discovered the world, now is the world who's discovering Portugal and this great people.

      Furthermore, Portuguese navigators knew about the existence of America long before the Spaniards, long before Columbus. They had already been to Canada and Brazil, but that was a state secret and not publicized in the rest of Europe. But then Columbus, the Great Traitor, stole knowledge from Sagres and took it to Spain...

      I wouldn't actually mind a united States of Iberia if Castille relented control over the provinces they conquered by force and gave everybody the independence they demand. If Barcelona had as much Power as Lisbon and Madrid, If the Galicians and Basques we free, only then would I even consider any form of union. Until then I will look at Spain as an inferior political entity, with sparatists actions against it being perfectly justifiable. It's not the non Galicians the Portuguese dislike, it's just Madrid.

    The famous sponge cake, a cake that is part of the list of typical Portuguese desserts, gave rise to the most popular Japanese cake in the country; tea, which is part of British daily life, was introduced into their habits by a Portuguese queen, D. Catarina.
    And yes, Portuguese cuisine has influence on the cuisine of many countries around the world, because they were the first Westerners to reach Asia by sea, South America, immense territories in Africa. The Portuguese brought back immense products unknown to Westerners from these trips and introduced them to Europe.
    By the way, colonization has many negative aspects, but there is also positive in this. The Portuguese always had a knack for mixing with native populations and both sides profited from it. They were the first in the world to abolish slavery and at this moment it is we don’t have a colono country unlike many others that still have others under their wings…
    Thanks for the video! 👏

    Indonesia has Bolu, which is also Portuguese for Cake. It’s a steamed cake here in Indonesia, but has its origins in more traditional Portuguese bread with eggs and butter. Its Indonesian incarnation uses rice flour and usually no eggs.

    CZcams recommended this video and I'm really happy it did! I am Portuguese, so I already knew a few of these, but I also learned a lot, so thank you! I remember trying japanese food for the first time and thinking the flavours and textures reminded me of home, even if visually it looked completely different. Yours is an interesting perspective (seeing Portuguese influences everywhere) because I've always felt the other way around: our traditional food is heavily influenced by the cultures we met along the way. We probably learned and received a lot more than what we taught and gave to others. Anyway, excellent video! Wishing you lots of success.
