/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "kah" (as in "car")/
An ancient Andean underground cooking technique where meats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other tubers are slow-cooked on hot stones in a pit dug into the ground. Pre-Hispanic in origin and deeply associated with community celebrations in Peru and Bolivia. The result is smoky, tender, and completely unlike anything cooked above ground.
“They made a pachamanca in the field to celebrate grandfather's birthday.”
“The pachamanca came out perfectly, everything slow-cooked evenly with the hot stones.”

Burda
A lot, tons, a huge amount of something in Venezuela, the intensifier that signals there's more of something than you can handle. 'Burda de' pumps up any noun: burda de gente, burda de trabajo, burda de años. It's enthusiastic, colorful, and distinctly Venezuelan.
