From the groceries to the richest gold pans existing in Minas : distinction of taste in eighteenth-century urbe, Minas Gerais.

O estudo buscou investigar as pr?ticas de alimenta??o dos moradores do territ?rio miner?rio, a partir dos condicionantes sociais, culturais e econ?micos. Observamos que a agricultura de subsist?ncia (ro?as), j? associada aos descobertos de ouro (e de diamantes) nas fronteiras, foi reconfigurada na economia colonial-atl?ntica de abastecimento das povoa??es urbanas. Al?m da crescente produ??o agropastoril, houve uma significativa diversifica??o dos g?neros comercializados. Contudo, o quadro b?sico nutricional dos moradores livres pobres e dos cativos pouco mudou ao longo do s?culo XVIII. Mesmo assim, n?o foi desprez?vel, em uma hist?ria mobilizada pelo imagin?rio e pelos desejos, a disposi??o dos moradores pobres, ou dos trabalhadores africanos e afrodescendentes, para lograr uma variedade do gosto, que se apresentava nos comest?veis, a?ucarados ou n?o, das quitandas, das vendas / cozinhas clandestinas e das comemora??es festivas.The study sought to investigate the feeding practices of the inhabitants of the mining territory, based on social, cultural and economic factors. We observed that subsistence agriculture (ro?as), already associated with gold (and diamond) discoveries at the borders, was reshaped in the colonial-Atlantic economy of supplying urban settlements. In addition to the growing agropastoral production, there was a significant diversification of the commercialized genera. However, the basic nutritional scene of the poor free people and captive people changed little during the eighteenth century. Nevertheless, in a story mobilized by imagination and desires, the disposition of the poor inhabitants, or African and Afro-descendant workers, to achieve a variety of taste is significant and was presented through the sale of food, both sugary and not, in quitandas clandestine / kitchens and festive celebrations
