Forno de Minas

edit

Perhaps we can move this section to another article later... Let´s find a picture of the logomark. Of course, we should also sync the article with the portuguese one! -- 200.139.141.196 14:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Or, we could create a section about famous cheese bread manufacturers, and move the texts about Forno de Minas and Casa do PDQ there... -- NIC1138 14:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Article name

edit

Buns tend to be something bigger, slightly sweet and with yeast. I believe that chesse roll or chesse puffs would be a better term more descriptive. It's still better than chesse bread as too many people call it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.181.195.4 (talk) 14:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think the article should be renamed to a more descriptive name, since there are so many local expressions. Bolivian Cuñapé is even more simillar to the Pao de quejo than the Chipá given its size, and there are no references to it, nor to the Bolivian cuisine. Cheese bread seams like the appropiate expression fot the article. Mariano(t/c) 12:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'd go for "cheese roll" or "cheese bun" myself. As to size, methinks you're mistaking plain chipá (2-4" in diameter) for chipá guazú. In any case, I'm all for moving it to a place where folks can find it more easily. Taragüí @ 19:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ahm, it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong... would you fix that yourself? And add some about chipá guazú? cheese bun sounds better, since a roll reminds me more of a cylinder. Mariano(t/c) 11:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm a great adept of the "cheese bread" translation, but a friend of mine is a ferocious opponent, prefering the "cheese bun". I think we should just pick one of them as the "official" (not that it really matters) and link them all to the same page... Do we have any jurisprudence? Other international recipes with multiple names and translations?... -- NIC1138 21:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't think choosing a 'local name' is a wise idea. It is usually problematic when you have more than one option. Recepies usually choose one of them, in the context of Brazilian/Bolivian/Paraguayan/Argentine cuisine (choose one). Probablly bun is better, since its not just a bread of any shape and size, but a bun. Mariano(t/c) 07:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Given the lack of comments form users other than us three in 2 yeeks, I'll move the page to Cheese bun. Mariano(t/c) 08:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've added a couple of redirects, just in case. Taragüí @ 11:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I hate the article name. Chipa is so distinctly chipa-y, "Cheese Bun" is just sterile and technical. Like calling bread "wheat loaf" or something. I think it would be better if each regional variation had it's own page but that they were linked in the introductions. Dardanelle (talk) 05:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I agree, the name seems too generic, and chipa and pão de queijo are different. I think it's unlikely that someone trying to get to pão de queijo would search for "cheese bun" or "cheese bread." I move that we split these articles into their own pages and leave an introduction here that links to each respective page. - AKeen (talk) 06:39, 25 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Cuñapé is not from Quechua

edit

the word Cuñapé is of Guarani origins not Quechua. It means bread of women or something similar, Cuña is woman and Cuñatai is young woman. I will change that on main article. my Source is www.soysantacruz.com.bo --Chokolandivar 08:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Really? How did that get to Bolivia!? thanks for the fix. Mariano(t/c) 08:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
In the lowlands of Bolivia there are many guarani Tribes. Many words from guarani are used by the people of the lowlands, but not as often as it used to be. Saludos. --Chokolandivar 08:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

"chipa guazu" has almost nothing to do with chipa.

edit

The previous contributor to this entrty attributed the name of "chipa' guazu" to smaller buns of chipa. This is incorrect. In fact, the Guarani word "guazu" means the opposite, that being "Large, Giant or Grand". For example, Y'guazu(Foz de Iguazu) Chipa Guazu is actually a type of corn souffle made from fresh choclo(white corn) and mazorca(yellow corn mixed together with egg and fresh cheese then baked in an oven. It contains no mandioca flour. Chipa' on the other hand is a dry, firm and crumbly bread made mostly from cassava flour, in Paraguay it is always sold in the form of a ring or a wedgelike, diamond shaped bun.

Well, that does make sence. Mariano(t/c) 06:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

height ?

edit

Its size may range from one to six inches in diameter, with about two inches of diameter. ? -- DLL .. T 16:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

There is no standard size, varying from half an inch to three inches. These are the sizes I have found in my region. 201.58.72.112 20:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Minas Gerais

edit

Pituco removed a whole paragraph at 7/jun/2007 [1]. Tough I agree that paragraph needed much improvement, I believe it was quite a harsh edit!... He didn't leave any infromation on the importance of Minas Gerais to brazilian cheese bun. I'm not quite sure about the statement on "the invention of minas cheese", tough, specially because if I'm not mistaken, that kind of cheese is not even central to the local recipes. -- NIC1138 05:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Use of "cassava flour"

edit

Regarding Brazil: Is the use of "polvilho" that common? I always thought that Pão de queijo more often than not was made with regular wheat flour (farinha de trigo), and not with just "cassava flour" or more correctly "polvilho". Which is another point, because "cassava flour" could be confused as "farinha de mandioca" which is different than the finer polvilho or "tapioca". Surely the words "tapioca" and/or "polvilho" is more correct than "cassava flour", should the use of it in most recipes of pão de quiejo be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poiuy998 (talkcontribs) 01:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Pão de queijo is only made with polvilho. If you use wheat flour, it is something else. (189.59.202.210 (talk) 23:22, 23 February 2010 (UTC))Reply

Pan de yuca

edit

I think that stub article should be merged into this one. Also because tapioca links there but not here. Knopffabrik (talk) 01:36, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I disagree. Pan de yuca comes from a different tradition Dardanelle (talk) 05:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

copyediting

edit

I have looked at a few sections for general copyediting and the remainder needs looking over, as I found numerous corrections required. Also, someone with expertise needs to specify whether the different names are interchangeable, as there is no consistency throughout the article. --Soulparadox 08:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Please re-add this reference

edit

I have merged Pandebono into this list (I also merged Pan de yuca) as there really isn't a lot of point in having stubs that will never be expanded. In the Pandebono article, a reference was given at the end: http://www.archive.org/stream/amricapintores00barcuoft#page/704/mode/2up. Unfortunately it is not a language I can read. Can someone who watches this page please find out what information is in it, and use it to cite the article appropriately? Thank you. — The Potato Hose 20:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
