The history of flan begins with the ancient Spanish. Eggs figured prominently in many Spanish recipes. The flan prepared by the ancient Spanish was quite different from the food eaten today. It was often served as a savory dish, as in "eel flan", although sweet flans, made with honey and pepper, were also enjoyed. In the Middle Ages, both sweet and savory flans (almonds, cinnamon & sugar; cheese, curd, spinach, fish) were very popular in Europe, especially during Lent, when meat was forbidden. According to Platina's De Honesta Voluptate [On Right Pleasure and Good Health], an Italian cookery text published in approximately 1475, custard-type dishes were considered health food.
