 * About the Mediterranean cuisine edit, I'm not sure it can stand as it is, for two reasons. Firstly, Portugal isn't on the Mediterranean, while islands like the Azores are still further away; and secondly, the material would need to be cited to a reliable source so other editors can verify the claims made. We could leave it at that, but there is quite good reason to want to have something about Portuguese cuisine in the article: it's not unlike Mediterranean cuisine, and at least some readers (and editors!) expect to see it there, whether it properly belongs or not.


 * What I'd suggest, then, is that we should redraft the piece to say something like "Although Portugal lies on the Atlantic, not the Mediterranean, its cuisine is in many ways similar to the cuisine of Southern Spain. Characteristic dishes include ..."[1][2], where [1] and [2] are references to scholars of cuisine Adam X and Beatrice Y who have written about the similarity of Portuguese and Southern Spanish cuisine. I think that would work in the article. Other approaches are no doubt possible. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:09, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
