[Mad Dr Jeffe]

yes, flan would be good.

[MsFish]

Flan is food straight from heaven.  Especially Parisian flan.   At this little patisserie in the Latin Quarter, right around the corner from the Place de Saint Michel...mmmm...

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

But okay, whatever works.

I hear the best flan is in Barcelona.

The best I've had was in a restraunt in Maia, a suburb of Porto. Though I had some good flan in Lisbon too.

Flan is all about texture and moisture. It needs to be smooth, and not too wet and not too dry. During my time in Iberia, I had a lot of flan, some good and some bad. But good flan is something everyone should get to try.

[MsFish]

Hey!  Cut that out!



Sadly, most of the flan I've had in the states is way way WAY too wet.  And jello-esk.  Yuck.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I still dont get your aversion to Jello

[MsFish]

That's not the point.  The point is that the flan I've had here is nasty.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

actually I agree,...

More custardy and less runny is best when it comes to flan...

And then you can drizzle warm caramel on top

[MsFish]

and drown out the flan flavor!

you probably put topping on your cheesecake too.

Sacrelige.
