One of the biggest questions I get asked about traveling to the different mine sites is what kind of food did I eat. I'm not the type who goes way out of my comfort zone when it comes to food. Needless to say, the food has been remarkably similar at all the mine sites. Granted, each has a different spin on things (cabbage=lettuce in Russia, cassavas=potatoes in Brazil and llama=.... well never mind). In the photo is a picture that has been my typical lunch served up by a great kitchen staff to hundreds of miners every day in Brazil. About the only things that change are the type of meat (it is fish today), the type of sliced fruit (melons, mangoes, papaya, unknown) and the fruit juice (mango, papaya, orange, lemon). Beans (red or black) and white rice are everyday. The meat has been roast beef, baby back ribs, the aforementioned fish and roast pork. The cute little banana is local to here---though definitely bland. The oddest twist so far has been the total lack of ground pepper.
