I keep be being told by Portuguese users on here that many things that are of Moorish origin look very unfamiliar to them, things I know exist in southern Spain, western Sicily.
Which is odd because Portuguese have the most genetic influence from Moorish settlement out of the three. 11% or so.
Not that the overall cultures of these places are Moorish but tangible, physically evident things remain and apparently nothing like them exist in Portugal according to users here.
Nothing resembling couscous is eaten in Portugal? (For Spain, paella might be equivalent)
Apparently these plates do not exist as a common decoration or item in Portugal? You see them sold in many shops in southern Spain and in Sicily, where ceramic making has been something local craftsmen have done for hundreds of years.
The same with these rugs but no Portuguese user here says they are sold:
Apparently you don't find this architectural style in Portugal either (even though such styles literally made it to the southwest US due to Spanish settlement)?
