Damn Gothamist! I haven't had a good egg custard tart in ages. Now you've got me all hungry and I'm going to have to go all the way out to Chinatown. Gangway!

ha. yes, can you blame me?

So what exactly are the differences between egg custard, custard, and flan? I guess regular custard is more liquid, but is there anything else?

Tim, almost every culture has its own version of custard, just like cultures have their own versions of dumplings. For example, at some supermarkets and restaurants you can find custard pie. Creme Brulee is the French fancy version of custard. Egg Tart is sorta like miniature custard pie, and a little sweeter.

You have taste to experience it, hard to describe in words.
