Answer 2

Its definately better cold, with a salad, and some potatoes.  In fact thats what I have for lunch today :-)  And I'm not from Manchester, I'm Scottish.

I've always had flans cold...never hot.  Isn't flan a Mexican dessert?  Made like a custard?

Answer 7

I'm from Nottingham and quiche is yum hot or cold! :)

Answer 8

Great straight out of the oven and great cold with salad.

For a summer lunch, I prefer them still luke-warm, with a crispy salad and a glass or two of chilled rosé-

I thought a flan was sweet, but what would I know? I'm from the wilds of Cumbria.

However, ethnically I'm 1/4 Welsh, 1/4 Liverpudlian and 1/2 Lancastrian.

So there isn't a category for regional recipes/eating habits, but ethnic is a bit extreme.

Answer 9

Quiche is meant to be eaten cold its a salad accompliment!

Answer 10

flan/quiche same difference you can eat them hot or cold
