In addition to milk, sugar and lots of eggs, custard has vanilla; flan has brown sugar and cinnamon and is popular in central and south America (maybe P.R.?). A related custard treat is creme brulee (accent on the last e, pronounced bru-lay), which is cream custard with a slight topping of brandy which they light to brown the top. In Spain, they make a yummy egg dish in a frying pan which they call a torta or even tortilla I think, which is made from eggs, milk or cream, potatoes and onions which they serve for breakfast or brunch (their idea of breakfast is around 11am, since they like to eat midday around 3 pm and dinner around 9pm). You can get a torta in Spain at any time and almost any place, including bars. I think I had H1NI; we went to a large wedding in California on October 4 and a week later I started coming down with sneezing, then coughing, then aches, chills, high fever and awful headaches, then could hardly breathe for a few days. Took about 2 weeks, with the first week thinking I was getting better, then came the second week acute phase with fever and gradually got better. Never had anything like it and that's saying alot after working with 1,000's of kids and adults in my careers and having every cold and flu known to man (even pneumonia a few times), in spite of annual flu shots. You've probably had the H1N1 shot, so don't have to worry about catching it! I can see why they are so worried about this disease, as it packs a strong wallop!
