Have had all these things except beef wellington, but couldn't figure out what prosciutto or samosa were... they look so much like any number of other similar foods. Actually samosas originated in the Middle East according to Wikipedia, so it seems unfair that I missed that one because I typed in "sambosa"... which is what they are called there.

Jan 27, 2016
It's usually Döner Kebab (with the b) in Germany too but I believe Kebap is an alternative spelling. Either way Kebab/Kebap just means grilled or fried meat. The funny part is we usually call it just Döner, though that only describes that the meat is spinning (on a stick) as seen in the picture.

Yum, candy corn. Ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, confectioner's glaze, salt, dextrose, gelatin, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Red 3. (Just what all growing kids need.) I've been seeing candy corn show up at Easter, too, with the colors changed to pastel pinks greens, yellows, or purples. There's also a red, white, and blue version, and another autumn version that has a brown chocolate flavor for the bottom layer. There's also a truffle bark recipe making the rounds that calls for melted candy corn substituted for the chocolate mint layer.

No, a Crème brûlée would have to be served in a ramekin and would have a hard crunchy sugar topping to it which you have to break through with your spoon, the picture shows a Crème caramel (here in the UK anyway) which is soft caramel in the bottom of a ramekin, pour over custard, let it set and then turn it out onto a plat upside down like in the pic. A Flan in the UK is something completely different so I was really confused when that came up when I typed in Crème caramel!

In the US, flan is the same as other's creme caramel. It's often served in Mexican restaurants. Caramelize sugar and make a syrup, then pour in a ramekin or baking dish. Spoon in egg custard and bake. Invert to serve so the syrup runs over it. Some add whipped cream on top. Panna cotta contains cream, sugar, and gelatin but no eggs. Flan contains eggs and no gelatin.

sihollett

That's not a creme brulee (hard layer of burnt sugar on top), but a creme caramel (runny layer of burnt sugar on top).

Flan in European-English derives from a High German word for a flat cake, via French, and technically means a dish with an open pastry or sponge case. Typically the meaning is narrower due to most dishes that could be called flan being called quiches or tarts or pies*. Flan in American-English takes an extra step via Spanish. Despite having a perfectly good word or three for custard anyway, the Spanish decided to call custard-based dishes flans even if they don't have a case around them - probably as quiches have a savoury custard, as do custard tarts/flans patissier.

*A flan in England is typically a sponge base with a raised edge topped with fruit and sometimes jelly or cream as well. But it is also used for quiche-like dishes occasionally (quiche seems to have been a high-class word 50 years ago and some still won't use it).
