Egg custard tart



The Egg Custard Tart is a favorite dessert of Earth Kingdom citizens, being a decadent pastry filled with egg custard. Aang's willingness to eat an egg custard tart reveals that, while being a vegetarian, he had no qualms about consuming dairy products. The tart is a baked pastry, filled with egg custard, hence its name. It is unknown whether the other existing nations produce custard tarts of their own.

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 that 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 the canyon, he asked, "Where's that custard tart? I'm starving!"
