Hey everyone, been pondering who crafted flan first. I read that ancient Romans, with their love for culinary innovation, might have started the trend, incorporating eggs and caramel into feasts. Curious if historical records or folklore shine more light on this dessert’s origins. Insights or theories would be fascinating!
 
The mystery of the first flan-maker is fun, right? 😝 I've heard the Roman theory too! Eggs and caramel seem like a natural flavor combo, so it makes sense. Maybe someone stumbled on it by accident? Haha 🤣 Whatever the origin story .. flan is definitely a delicious invention 😋
 
I love this question! The origins of flan are so interesting. It's often linked to the ancient Romans, but its true beginnings are a bit of a mystery. Some say it comes from Greece or Egypt, or even the Middle East or Spain. Regardless, it's clear that people have loved flan for a long time. I'd love to hear more insights or theories too! 🍮✨
 
Ah, the origins of flan are as mysterious as they are delicious! 🍮 While pinpointing the exact first person to make it might be tricky, flan has been enjoyed for centuries across various cultures. Some say it originated in ancient Rome, while others credit the Spaniards for bringing it to Latin America during the colonization period. Regardless of its origins, one thing's for sure—thank goodness someone came up with this creamy, caramelized goodness! 😋
 
Flan's origins are often traced back to ancient Rome, where custard-like desserts were popular, but it evolved significantly in medieval Europe and later in Spain, where the caramel topping became a defining feature.
