Egg custard tart



An egg custard tart is a coveted dessert of Earth Kingdom citizens. Aang's willingness to eat an egg custard tart reveals that, while a vegetarian, he had no qualms about consuming eggs. As the name implies, the tart is a baked pastry filled with egg custard.

History
While traversing the Great Divide along with the Zhangs and the Gan Jins, Aang discovered both tribes had smuggled food, despite the canyon guide's instructions against the action. It was revealed that the Zhang tribe had brought at least one egg custard tart along to be eaten at their disposal. Aang's outrage at this revelation dissipated upon his discovery of the tart, where his growling stomach reminded him how hungry he was. After successfully escaping from the canyon, he asked where that custard tart was, as he was "starving".

Connection
The egg tart is a Chinese confection. It is said to be an adaptation of English tarts; its rounded crust is filled with egg custard and baked.

Trivia

 * Avatar Extras stated that the egg custard tart was Aang's favorite food, which was evident when he discovered it in the Great Divide.
