When the Portuguese princess Catherine married to prince Charles of England she brought with her many customs from the Portuguese nobility of the time
These include tea (which Portugal imported from his possessions in Asia and his trades with China and Japan), the "High Tea" (drinking tea at 5:00 is actually a Portuguese tradition), porcelain plates and cups (apparently she hated her food always arriving cold because of the metal plates) and the use of forks at the dinner table
