Minas Gerais is not a romantically named state: here is "General Mines." But far from being dominated by slag heaps and open-cast craters (though they exist) I am always struck by the rich and beautiful farming country in a huge state larger than Texas - or France. It is not for nothing that Minas has the reputation for the best food in Brazil - everything here is delicious. It is the part of Brazil which reminds us most of France in the care and attention given to food: the Mineiros do not just eat to live.
