I went to Brazil once and Pão de Queijo was one of many fond memories I have from the trip. Edit - and also that if you misprounce pão, it's a bit rude

.... also shows you have bad hygiene.

I will graciously refrain from explaining this.

Studied in Brazil for a year and I know exactly what you mean. It's the first "mispronunciation" I was taught about

I've updooted your comment for the correct name of this dish, and I'm really happy I've never said it to someone who knew it correctly. I would throw an "n" at the end of Pão. This is one of the best bread dishes known to the taste buds and now I'll say it correctly, thank you!

Despite the name, it actually isn't bread

How so? Cassava/tapioca flour is flour. Breads can be made from batters or doughs.

It is absolutely a quick bread with a drop batter.
