Everybody knows the British went after the spices, but it was the Portuguese that significantly changed the food of the world.
Brazil didn't have coffee before the Portuguese brought it from Africa....
I was surprised to learn that:
* In hindi, cashew is kashyu, even closer to Portuguese's caju than english
* the largest producer of Tapioca (amarican manioc flour) is Thailand. In the US, one can buy in in Asian food shops.
