>Chili peppers first arrived in China in the late 16th century, when Portuguese and Dutch navigators brought peppers from the Americas to their coastal trading strongholds in Southeast Asia. From there, they were brought back to China by Chinese seamen who valued them not for their taste, but for their beauty.

Old world cuisines (Chinese, Thai, Italian, Indian, French, etc) would be different without new world crops, but still rich and interesting. It's American cuisine that would be unrecognizable. Mexican food without onion, garlic, cilantro, rice, wheat, citrus, pork, beef, chicken, cheese? Crazy.

It's kind of cool when you come at it from a purely human angle. We are more alike than we are different. We have a common ancestor. We've been exchanging food cultures since before written history. We're just fortunate enough that one of the biggest exchanges happened in recorded history.. too bad it all went down so shitty

Chickens originated from South East Asia and was spread by Austronesians. There's evidence of chicken bones in South America pointing to possible contact of Austronesians landing in South America.

Fried food in general. And a lot of egg based recipes all accross oceanic asia. The Vietnamese use the weatern alphabet after a portuguese missionary that was there translated their original language into portuguese phonems that use the alphabet. Europeans and Asians have huge common history but for some reason everyone pretends we have been living isolated until china became the world's factory.

Are you retarded or just uncultured? Portuguese food regularly uses a variety of spices you fuckwad. Their cuisine is highly diverse.
