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.
Was never the biggest flan of them myself.
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.
The look of that yoke makes me wanna join the RA
My grandmother used to pronounce it “Flawn” because she heard some posh English one say it like that…. 🙄
my mam still makes them the odd time, one of my fave desserts
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.
They’re back, in flan form
Ask your granny how often she thinks of flans
I have to say I enjoy a good flan
No, no, noooooo
That looks flantastic!
I can almost taste that picture. My granny would make it with canned satsumas, double cream and crushed Flake.
Nope 🤷
they’re shite but yeah always a staple of Christmas dinner desert lol

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?
The smell of canned orange from this.
