      Churrasco is the Brazilian style of grilling.

      Saudade is a Portuguese word for a particular emotional state associated with remembering something no longer present. It’s kind of wistful, kind of maudlin, kind of happy.

      Like you walk past a house that reminds you of the house your best friend lived in growing up, and you’ve drifted apart as you grew up and don’t quite mesh the same way any more but you still want the best for them and have fond memories of the things you did and wish it could be the same again but you know time has passed and the memories are now what you have and you sit with that feeling on the train. You are experiencing saudades of your friendship.
