I'm not immediately familiar with pudding or flan. I can assume it's a sweetened milk substance, but outside of that I'm afraid I have no frame of reference. If it's light like some soups, however, it would definitely be a contender!
It does bring up the issue of ingredients in general, however. For instance, I wanted to make snow fungus soup for the turning of seasons but have no idea if wood ears can be found here anywhere, nor if the version that exists here would be safe to eat, whether literally or in the sense that things can tend to being magical here. At least it may make sense with a specialty ingredient like that, but even basic things seem to be hard to come by here. Leeks, roots, so on.
