Flan is popular in Mexican restaurants in the United States. It's a very tasty custard dish. Do you eat anything similar to flan in Uruguay?

Lots of beef... very tasty beef.

But don't let that fool you.. there are lots of great fruits and veggies too.

I think flan was described in the original message... "a very tasty custard dish." And, yes, Flan is available here.

I've never had it so I can't say if it is the same as Flan in other places... maybe someone can has more Flan experience than I.

Flan, sounded like a fictional monster in a role playing game (RPG). Final Fantasy game series to be exact they look like jelly looking blogs usually their colors (and attributes) have yellow (lightning), red (fire), blue (ice). Maybe the "Spanish Flan" is the inspiration for that in-game creature.

Ok... if you think flan is a big mystery check out this link for Wikipedia...

Flan is also called "caramel custard"... and for the lazy people... An imitation of crème caramel may be prepared from "instant flan powder".

I tried searching kroger.com and found nothing... pop flan into walmart's (ugh) search box and you (or I did) get 3 results...

All those flan talks and links made my stomach grumbled and craved for some flan. I am a big fan of flans but I didn't know the history or what is the story behind flans. Thanks for the links.

oh yes, they certainly do flan here! (although I hate the stuff, its so damn jiggly!) Here they usually eat flan with dulce de leche (caramel). I just leave the flan and eat the the dulce de leche!
