SANTA LUZIA (MG)
This delicious dessert on the colorful plate was served in Santa Luzia, a suburb north of Belo Horizonte. Santa Luzia is a small historical city, but has expanded greatly in the past decades to more than 200 thousand inhabitants.
Quite a few inhabitants from Belo Horizonte have their second home within the borders of Santa Luzia, some of them have a so-called sítio, a kind of weekend resort, in a large, green area. Such a sítio is a simple construction, without excess of luxury. Most important are the kitchen, the shower, and a lot of beds and mattresses. Because of the islolated location, people are free to organize big parties that may last a few days even. No one to bother or to be bothered. One may scream, sing, play loud music without problems.
At such a party, this pudim was served.
