When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Klausin, respectfully, it is many different things from a stuffing to banana boats. I have cookbooks I bought in Fortaleza and S. Paulo with a variety of these recipes.

: yes, you are right, it probably is more like a batter, like the apples/lychees we get at the Chinese.

Desculpe mas nao concordo. Batter e uma cobertura que poder ser feita de farinha e ovo ou pao ralado e ovo ou outros produtos. Pastry e massa folhada. Nao tem nada a ver com bolinhos!

Thanks to you all, folks. Gosh, I didn�t expect that a "banana recheada" would cause so much dicussion. Well, food is always a delicious subject. By the way, next time you have a banana-filled pastry, don�t forget to sprinkle it with sugar mixed with cinnamom powder. You�ll be fatter, but happier.
