I like real flan. I hate the crude caribbean flans that I get in my neighborhood restaurants.

that looks flantastic

of course, you can't flim flam a flan fan

>>5124450
Yes, I enjoy it on occasion.

>>5124450
Yes, there was a time when I used to make and eat flan every day.

i prefer giga puddi

fan-tasy flaaan~

>>5124450

That looks more like crème caramel, but yes, it's always been one of my favorite desserts.

I think I have a baby's palate when it comes to textures.

>>5124755

Flan is exactly the same thing, man.

>>5124756

I just looked it up, and apparently they are.

It's just that the only crème caramel I think I've had (or flan called by that name) was the one my dad made growing up, and it was much better than any flan I've had since (it was richer, and the sugar cooked darker); I need to get his recipe.

I'm not really sure why OP's pic made me think of crème caramel (probably how dark the top was), aside from the fact that I would devour it right now, and associate that with what it was called when I was growing up.

>>5124764

Because op's pic IS creme caramel, the same way that it's flan.

I work at a starbucks and the seasonal drink is the caramel flan latte.

It's disgusting, just like all starbucks drinks and the fatasses who drink them.

Outside of that, I don't like deserts so no thanks.

>>5124769

I think I'm starting to understand the difference now. Thanks.

>I don't like deserts so no thanks
What, you got something against sand and cactuses?
Trolling aside though, I don't like desserts either. I think people who feel the need to eat sugary shit after a meal are either women or have extremely childish palates.

>tfw no cheese plate option

panna cotta > flan

>>5124876
Yeah I feel you on that one. I try not to judge people too hard for it, I mean tons of people like sugary stuff, but to me it just isn't that good. There are a million different desserts and they all just taste like sugar. Anything sweet like that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The only dessert I've ever really cared for was some napoleons that my dad made. But that was because they were a good balance of the sweetness, richness, and tangy strawberries.

I guess my complaint isn't really the flavor itself, it's just that I think most desserts aren't very balanced and are done in a shitty, cheap way. Like, "Just make it really really rich and sweet and it's five star food!"

>jello'd cum

nah

I am really a fan of flan. So once I tried a Japanese "Pudding". I thought it looked like flan to me and I really likes flan. I tried it, turns out it was some gellatin-ized fake and tasted like shit in comparison. I then wondered myself: Does the Japanese even know what real flan tastes like? You always see them eat those pre-packaged "Pudding" in animes and shit.

>>5125035
There's your giga puddi.

I like flan but I prefer creme brulee.

>>5125035
I had this and it was a bit too mild tasting.
I don't really know what creme caramel is supposed to taste like, as I've only tried this one and the ones I made myself.

>>5124450

NO, because I don't like runny-ass burnt caramel sauce. If you are going to make a caramel sauce it should be thick enough to heavily coat the back of a spoon with a slight golden color; not that burnt boarder jumping sugar water shit.

>tfw my Puerto Rican exs aunt would make the best flan Ive ever tasted for my birthdays
>tfw no more flan because we broke up this past November

>>5125702
Not every flavor must be so blatant.

>>5125721
What is it with Puerto Ricans and flan? I used to go to this little Mexican restaurant that was bought by a Puerto Rican lady, she made the best fucking flan.

>>5125702
>I'm such a fatass that I only eat my sugar with butter and cream.
fify

>>5125817

you see this shit bitch...look at it....CLOSER.

that's what caramel looks like, any questions?

>>5125841
That's what caramel candy looks like you dumb nigger. There's a difference between caramel sauce and candy.

>>5125848

>implying the best caramel sauce isn't just melting these.

shut your whore mouth or I'll have my girl kick your ass.

there is a flan i've had at some mexican spots that is somewhere between cheesecake and flan. i love it bcz not as heavy as cheesecake and not as soft as flan.

Of course I am OP.

>>5126065
Man, that looks fucking delicious. I remember buying flan as a kid from an elderly Puerto Rican lady from my church. Good ass stuff, man.

>>5125862
You shut your whore mouth or I'll let her.

fuck yea i do

My mom used to make something she called flan by putting a can of condensed milk on the stove until one side was caramelized and slid right out.

What the fuck is that called, /ck/?
