For some reason I just assumed they were all the same.
Turns out what we call puddings here is what the US calls a flan

@St1ka any things like this that existed all over the world and were named before telephones existed tends to have some odd naming conflicts across regions. (eg. in england pudding = "dessert")

@St1ka wait, what do you call pudding? Where I come from, it's like a flan as well!
I've been living in this country for 10 years and ate several puddings.. and it was like flans...

@montyontherun Yes, that's what I mean. In Portugal, when people want a pudding, they want a flan.
In the US, a pudding is closer to a thick chocolate mousse

@St1ka ahhh sorry - misread your toot.
Now, what I miss the most from back home is Plum Manjar (it's like a blancmange, but made of coconut, with plum syrup). Whenever I visit my parents, I ask for this.

@St1ka, @montyontherun: you're mostly right. it is a custard. What us Yanks call "pudding" is just a basic sweet custard. It isn't all chocolate (my favorite is a vanilla pudding with pearls of tapioca starch throughout. Kind of like boba tea meets custard and I love it)
I thought "flan" was a particular caramel baked custard thing, but I am seeing that the internet is proving that assumption somewhat wrong! We are all learning things today!

@St1ka: There's also white and black pudding, along with haggis, which are entirely different things themselves.
