Because I'm not even clear on what "flan" is, I wiki'd it. Apparently "flan" refers to a couple different things depending on where your from. What many Americans call 'flan'--via Latin American influence--can also be called "creme caramel". It is made with custard, apparently, but it's got the caramel going on, too.
I've had that, and I've had frozen custard (yummmy), but I don't think I've had straight-up custard. I've never looked for it in regular stores--though, I assume you can find it. I have seen it at World Market. My grandma mentioned wanting some last week, but I've honestly rarely heard people mention custard.
Also, our "puddings" aren't quite the same. Usually puddings here--except something traditional like bread pudding--are too soft to really "top" with custard. They're roughly the same consistency.
"so I put it full on the gas right?" I'm sure you guys have heard it, but do you say "Pedal to the metal"?
