"Crema catalana: Three of four models called it “creme brulee” 100% of the time. Only Gemini 3.1 Pro got “crema catalana” — in 3.4% of queries."

Wikipedia for Crema catalana:

Crema catalana (Catalan for 'Catalan cream'), or crema cremada ('burnt cream'), is a Catalan dessert consisting of a custard topped with a layer of caramelized sugar.[1] It is "virtually identical"[2] to the French crème brûlée. It is made from milk, egg yolks, and sugar. Crema catalana and crème brûlée are made in the same way.
