Spain and Portugal are more different from each other in society, gastronomy, manners and mentality than American states from each other.

There is no way of understanding the question because there's no such thing as "spanish and portuguese cuisine".

I'm portuguese so I would speak for portuguese cuisine. Alentejo region (the interior) uses a lot of garlic and bread; the north uses a lot of pork meat, corn, potatoes and heavy sauces, even the blood of chicken and pork is used; by the sea you can eat incredibly tasty grilled fish; in the south as well, and also all sorts of seafood. Vegetables are boiled and used in thick nutritious soups everywhere, and they are always served before the main dish. Rice is so used that Portugal is the first non-asian country in the list of rice users. Desserts are made with cream, boiled milk and fruits, most traditional ones have almonds, lots of eggs and cinnamon.

Portuguese food doestn't have paella or tortilla which are spanish. Gaspacho - a soup made with tomato - is also spanish and is not consumed in Portugal.

What is the uniqueness of French cuisine from other cuisine?

Traditional French cuisine is reputed to be a fat cuisine. This is of questionable truth, certainly not generally true for modern French cuisine, and certainly never was a unique aspect of French cuisine. Other aspects of French cuisine include its diversity, inventiveness, or the nation's passion with its cuisine, none of which is unique to French cuisine. Both, those attributes might be cited as characteristics of French cuisine. Any region's cuisine evolves with disregard of political boundaries. Adjacent countries will almost always share many of the characteristics with a specific country's traditional cuisine, rendering any claim of "traditional cuisine of country X" questionable. For example, the cuisine in the south-west of France is very similar to northern Spanish cuisine, while eastern French cuisine shares similarities with German, Swiss and Italian cooking.
