You’re right, this is normal. Off the top of my head:

  • tempura originated because of the trade between the portuguese and japanese

  • portuguese monopoly on cinnamon trade with Sri Lanka and India, allowed Europe to get it for cheap and it became a main ingredient in a lot of desserts and confections

  • the UKs tea culture came from a portugese noblewoman, who learned it from China

Cultures are constantly taking ideas from each orher
