    Again, the desert carriers were carefully opened and presented for the Annual Flan Festival in Centennial Park. A full array of Flans were up for the cash Grand Prizes and of course a year of flan bragging rights. The many entrants had flan in traditional and non traditional categories.

    The selected judges including myself,  had their hands and mouths full tasting all the different varieties that were prepared. Some recipes had been generational hand me downs in the family and others were modern take with a light calorie conscious recipe.

    The Ybor City Saturday Market had the park filled and the peoples sweet tooth appetite palates drooling. Congratulations on a packed day in Ybor.
