south asian cultural influence on mexico in the 17th century
What culture was found in South Asia in the 17th century that might have
influenced Mexico? Pakistani? Indian? Bangladeshi? Sri Lankan? Nepalese?
Maldivian? Myanmarese? Tibetan? So many cultures to influence Mexico in the
17th century, and the description tantalizingly leaves that blank.
portuguese, who had colonies in south america (though certainly not mexico)
and also in the far east (goa, macau, manila..)
There's a significant portuguese influence on japanese cuisine (tempura,
baozi = pao farm bread = pav as in pav bhaji), and in indian - well, goan
as well (vindaloo, xacuti etc)
