Raid food (Moqueca and Churrasco)

One thing that caught my attention in this expansion is the wealth of references to the Americas, one of the most recent being high-end foods, which we are/will be using in Savage. Two of the main ones, churrasco and moqueca, are typical Brazilian dishes, so since we're going to eat these foods in every raid, I'll describe them a little for you.

I think the best translation for Churrasco is "Barbecue", but is not the same. Churrasco is a traditional dish from southern Brazil, especially associated with the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Paraná. It consists of meat grilled over an open flame, typically prepared on large skewers and cooked over hot coals. Common meats include beef cuts such as picanha, maminha, and ribs, as well as chicken, sausage, and pork. The preparation primarily involves coarse salt as the main seasoning, enhancing the natural flavor of the meat. Churrasco is often accompanied by farofa, vinaigrette, garlic bread, and chimichurri, and is a central element in celebrations and family gatherings.

Moqueca is a traditional Brazilian dish, especially popular in the Mid/North East regions of Brazil. It is a seafood stew, slowly cooked in a clay pot with a rich combination of fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro, and coconut milk, all seasoned with palm oil (dendê oil). Moqueca is known for its unique and distinctive flavor, resulting from the harmony of the ingredients and the traditional cooking method that preserves the moisture and natural flavors of the food. It is commonly served with white rice and pirão, which is made from the moqueca's broth and manioc flour.
