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).

Kind of dissapointed at the term fish eggs instead of caviar. yes they are fish eggs, but you dont have just "meat" for the prosciutto one.
I know it isnt exactly the same thing but still.
Not the best quiz I've taken.
