Flan
Of course, it’s flan, or créme caramel, or crema caramella, depending on where you are. A classic dessert as old as the Romans, it has become one of the most popular desserts in France, Portugal, Spain, and most notably, Latin America. Whether it’s in the variation of pudim abade de priscos with 15 egg yolks and bacon in Porto, flan de coco with coconut and condensed milks in Santo Domingo, or served with dulce de leche in Buenos Aires, flan has become ubiquitous with Latin American desserts.
All’Antico Vinaio
Each sandwich is made to order: there are two sandwich artisans who take orders, slice the fresh schiacciata bread (similar to focaccia), lather the bread with various creams, and then stack fresh vegetables and freshly sliced meats and cheeses on top. Watching this magical process in action made me even more excited to sink my teeth into one of All’Antico Vinaio’s superb sandwiches.
