Before "The Mandalorian" I had not heard usage of the Mon-Calamari currency known as the Flan. I am curious if there is any information that this may be an easter egg from Favreau.

As Calamari is Fish and Flan is Pudding/Custard. I wonder if this is some vague homage to Doctor Who's "Fish Fingers and Custard". Now this is obviously reaching a little. But it's not unlike Favreau to sneak in a reference like this.

Has anyone seen an interview or know if Favreau has commented on this at all?

    I'm looking, but can't find anything, but it is curious, since Matt Smith may or may not appear in episode IX... – Darth Locke Nov 26 '19 at 13:13

    I like this. I think you are onto something. I don't watch the Doctor, but this seems plausible. – Jason P Sallinger Nov 26 '19 at 15:48
  • @Luciano Yeah, I doubt there's a good hook, too. – T.J.L. Nov 27 '19 at 16:10

I doubt it.

It is only in the US, and Spanish-speaking countries, that flan means something similar to custard.

In Spanish-speaking countries and often in the United States, flan is crème caramel. This was originally a Spanish language usage, but the dish is now best known in North America in a Latin American context. Elsewhere, including in Britain, a flan is a type of tart somewhat like a quiche.
