Mmm, custard! I just went blueberery picking yesterday. XD
That looks delicious!

Beat me to it! :P

nicely done ma. looks good. :)

man*

so what's the difference between that and flan?
I mean, besides the 20€ a cup diference in price.

Both are effectively the same custard base (Creme Anglaise), but from different parts of the world; Creme Brulee from classical French cuisine, flan originating from Latin/Central America. The other difference is effectively where the sugar's caramelized; on Creme Brulee it's insta-caramelized with a blowtorch, of under a broiler/salamander, in flan, caramel is poured into the ramekin before the custard, and after being baked, it's inverted onto a plate.

I'd say the easiest differentiation, is that flan is more jello solid whereas creme brulee is more of a pudding under that shell.

So I'm more thorough and technical on my differentiation between the two... Can you blame me for being a food geek?

Creme Brulee is my fave, I make it from time to time.

We made custard in culinary, it wasn't very good.

its probably the only food in culinary where you can have the most fun with a blowtorch
