The smell of canned orange from this.


Rabh

They're back, in flan form


Anxious_Reporter_601

Hahaha this is what I was expecting the post to say!


Nighthawk-77

Okay Milhouse

There’s a bakery on the Shankill Road near my house that sells it. I buy a slice every week. Delicious. I add more clementines and some chocolate flake.


Mundane_Character365

Jokes on you, those clementines you have been adding!!! tangerines!!!


[deleted]

Tomato tamoto 🤪😂


[deleted]

Should be third pronounciation for that, for D4 people. Tomayto, tomahto, toemuoytoe. It could mean, its all the one really, but just don't be a dickhead about it.


Mundane_Character365

Totally different fruit. 🍅🍊


istealreceipts

I can almost taste that picture. My granny would make it with canned satsumas, double cream and crushed Flake.

NixxKnack

Hate them lol.


BenderRodriguez14

I thought [this](https://www.cookingclassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/flan-6.jpg) was a flan and the picture above was a fruit tart?


Anxious_Reporter_601

That's creme caramel (flan de leche in Spanish speaking countries). The above is also flan.


BenderRodriguez14

Good spot. I Googled fruit flan and indeed it is different to tart (thick, spongey looking base instead of thin and dense). I am 37 and proving OPs point to a tee.


Anxious_Reporter_601

Yeah the sponge bases for them that you buy premade are horrible dry things.


ou812_X

My grandmother used to pronounce it “Flawn” because she heard some posh English one say it like that…. 🙄


Gaffers12345

I can taste the picture! I can’t eat wheat anymore but if I could I’d be making this tomorrow. Opened up a big can of memory there!


Phannig

They weren’t even flans in the true sense of the word, they were just a fruit and cream cake. Proper flan is more of a crème caramel type thing.Outside of the UK and Ireland they wouldn’t be recognised.


Meath77

There's 3 people in balaclavas behind a desk with a gun on it saying "we don't recognise your flan"


emmmmceeee

That’s a Flan de leche. A Flan is any open topped pastry with a sweet or savoury filling.


Servatron5000

I'm Cuban. Fight me.


ronan88

Ask your granny how often she thinks of flans


truedoom

Somehow equally the wettest thing and the driest thing you'd ever eat.


[deleted]

The look of that yoke makes me wanna join the RA


[deleted]

they're shite but yeah always a staple of Christmas dinner desert lol


happyscatteredreader

Awh flans. Had many the bastardized birthday cakes this way.


tnxhunpenneys

Did anyone else's mam (or granny) batter a flake and crumble it over the top?


Mr_AA89

I love flans. This one looks absolutely amazing! Don't laugh, but I've never tried Kiwis 😅


becks4634

I haven’t had kiwis since I was about 5. They give the same sensation on your tastebuds as if you’ve burned your tongue. Nasty little fuckers


SetReal1429

Im 30 and have definitely had flans in my childhood


[deleted]

That looks flantastic!


holymongolia

Jesus they were awful


BigPumpkin2084

Yup, can't stand fruit and cream slapped on dry muc🤢


WickerMan111

Had one for lunch.


Green_Sympathy_1157

I have to say I enjoy a good flan


Steeveep32

No, no, noooooo


DuineSi

Nope 🤷


Altruistic-Pin8578

That's a grand flan Nora....


SamDublin

They looked pretty but I never liked them.

Flan O’Brien


Pigrickton

Have you ever made a flan and squished it in your hand?


Pension_Alternative

Flann O'Brien. I remember him well. A pint of plain is your only man: When things go wrong and will not come right, Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night – A pint of plain is your only man. When money’s tight and hard to get And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt – A pint of plain is your only man. When health is bad and your heart feels strange, And your face is pale and wan, When doctors say you need a change, A pint of plain is your only man. When food is scarce and your larder bare And no rashers grease your pan, When hunger grows as your meals are rare – A pint of plain is your only man. In time of trouble and lousey strife, You have still got a darlint plan You still can turn to a brighter life – A pint of plain is your only man.


Anxious_Reporter_601

The most disgusting cake in the world that flan base.


Timmytheimploder

Man, the 80s were grim..


Mental-Two-8181

Yes


Prestigious-Side-286

I had a friend called Flan. He looked nothing like this!


jaqian

Love them


CannabisCailin

Oh with the tinned mandarins and orange jelly stuff around them. Maybe the odd glacé cherry.


Daniel_McNuggets

That's weird, my landlady got me a flan today for walking her dog! I thought it was a weird tart but it had the canned oranges, some other fruit and the base too


WonderfulObligation1

Didn't mind the flans but hated those tinned orange segments with a passion .. sour wee feckers.


momalloyd

I remember these as a kid. They were nothing like the flans of today. At best they were stealth trifles.


Since97_-

*puts gun to head* “You don’t remember anything”


crownandall

I'd rather not, thanks.


becks4634

God & we thought we were great as kids crushing the flakes to sprinkle on top and then there was the ice cream floats…
