Martian Food: A Taste of the Red Planet

[EOBGames]

About The Pull Request

Adds a selection of new foods and drinks based around Mars.
More information on Mars can be found here: https://github.com/tgstation/common_core/blob/master/Interesting%20Planets/Human%20Space/The%20Sol%20System.md
To summarise for the general audience, Mars is a vital colony of the Terran Federation, having been primarily settled (at least originally) by Cybersun Industries to harvest its lucrative supplies of plasma, the second largest in human space behind Lavaland. This has given Mars a diverse culture evolving from the mostly East Asian colonists, and their food reflects this.

Thanks to Melbert for their work on the soup portion of this PR.

The food:
Martian cuisine draws upon the culinary traditions of East Asia, and adds in fusion cuisine from the later colonists. Expect classics such as ramen, curry, noodles and donburi, as well as new takes on the formula like the Croque-Martienne, Peanut Butter Ice Cream Mochi, and the Kitzushi- chilli cheese and rice inside a fried tofu casing. Oh, and lots of pineapple. The Martians love pineapple:

Also included are some foods for Ethereals, which may or may not be hinting at something I've got planned...

The drinks:
Four new base drinks make their way to the game, bringing with them a host of new cocktails: enjoy new ventures in bartending with Coconut Rum, Shochu/Soju, Yuyake (our favourite legally-distinct melon liqueur), and Mars' favourite alcoholic beverage, rice beer. Each is available in the dispenser, as well as bottles in the booze-o-mat:

The recipes:
To make your (and the wiki editors) lives easier, please find below the recipes for both foods and drinks:

Why It's Good For The Game

Another lot of variety for the chef and bartender, as well as continuing the work started with lizard and moth food in getting Common Core into the game in a tangible and fun way.

Looks like a great selection of fun and flavourful recipes that flesh out the lore but will almost never be made because they require 6 grown ingredients, a cargo order, and intermediate prep for a tiny morsel the crew will wolf down instantly the same as a burger that took 30 seconds using the roundstart supplies.

it's the flavor that counts

besides, chef recipes are a wide selection with varying difficulty of crafting for a reqson: it's the journey for the cook that's most important, and it's a personal achievement for a cook to go through that effort for a new dish

Fair, it just always feels bad when i roll chef and go "Hey I wanna spend this shift making just such-and-such cusine for themed food, then actually get to the recipie menu and go "oh... I dont have any of this stuff. How do I get this again? Wow thats expensive for a single bottle... I'll head into botany and grow some crops. hey, those got badly cross contaminated but who cares. Okay now I do these steps, and my cargo order arrived for the special ingredient, and - wait that only makes one portion?" knowing that in the same time I could have made 12 burgers, a bunch of pastas, and a custom cake with just the shift start supplies.

This is kinda an unsolvable problem on my part, though- I can't and don't want to complete with the simplicity of "boiled pasta (made in microwave) + raw tomato = finished pasta dish", and with our nutrition system being what it is there's nothing that I can possibly do that will compete with simpler stuff like drinking sugar or mass-produced 2 ingredient food items. Ultimately, I get the issue of "stuff too hard, won't make", but I made my peace 2 food PRs ago that I'm making this just for the people who want that extra challenge and flavour.

I love this, more food will always be appreciated and it adds Ready Donk Nachos, Curry and best of all CHAP. I love cooking with SPAM for real and fully support the addition of CHAP!

[ModDownloading]

I think that Chapsilog, Chap Hash and Agedashi Tofu don't have recipes though.

Yeah, they were missing- the chap recipes were a sorta last minute idea, so I must have forgotten them in the rush.

This is a really cool and expansive update, I appreciate your hard work for sure, but most of these foods just seem excessively complicated to make. I feel like it will become like most of the mothic foods, where most of them aren't made simply because it requires too much work to get the base ingredients.
