Nobody warned me about pão de queijo!

These things are delicious!  How to describe - kind of like a cheesy scone, only immeasurably better.  Chewy, cheesy little buns, crisp on the outside, made from tapioca flour and queijo do Minas (or some combination of parmesan/mozzarella if you don't live in Brazil).  Maybe the greatest thing to come out of Minas Gerais apart from coffee.

  1. Sounds like a wonderful trip so far Lawrie - I am so jealous! I am also very hungry reading your descriptions of the lovely food! Hope the travels keep going well. Lisa.
