Gelato as Rob spelled it is Italian for Ice Cream.
Flan is very common in Argentina too. My grandma makes the best one around =)

G = Gateau or Gateaux, a well known example being the “Black Forest Gateaux”. A cake, from French.

I was thinking that instead of flan it should have been fritter.

In the UK a flan is a sort of desert version of a quiche. I’ve never heard Creme Caramel being called flan before?

I’m Spanish, and I can tell you that every Bar/Restaurant has Flan in their menus.

The typical one is made with eggs and milk boiled with cinnamon. The topping is usually liquid caramel.

The other popular kind is made basically with vanilla.

Here are some representative pictures of Flans:

The next time you visit Spain, ask for a Flan for your dessert!

p.s: cookie = galleta (cookie is feminine gender in spanish, and that’s usually ended with an ‘A’)

Ages since I had flan – I used to have it all the time as a kid.

Any chance of us getting a new phone with a keyboard that doesn’t look pig ugly?

Yeah, flan is much more eggy than creme caramel.

H = Halva?
I = Ile flottante???
J = Jalousie (as Junket might encourage derogatory puns)

I know what flan is and to tell you the truth I have never once heard it referred to as Creme Caramel.

I bet after Flan it will be Galleto (it’s Spanish for cookie, kind of like Flan is Spanish for something simmilar to Custard)
