Origin
Portugal — the small Atlantic nation at Europe's western edge — produced the most far-reaching culinary influence of any European country through its 15th–18th century Age of Discovery. The Portuguese brought chilli to Asia and Africa (as documented in WA2-09), introduced tempura to Japan, created vindaloo in Goa, and established bacalhau (salt cod) as a global ingredient. Their own culinary tradition — built on Atlantic seafood, the specific pork products of the Alentejo and Algarve, and the extraordinary wines (Port, Vinho Verde, Alentejo reds) — is one of Europe's most distinctive and least appreciated.
