  • Maltese Cuisine
    "The difference between the ordinary and extraordinary is the little 'extra' "- colours of malta What are the Maltese Culinary specialities? What are the origins of Maltese Food? The Maltese food is a delicious mixture of the gastronomy influences left behind by the successive conquerors of the islands of Gozo and Malta. So, expect to be surprised by eating a variety of dishes which can taste like food you had in Italy, the North of Africa, Eastern Mediterranean region, and even Britain. All these flavours put together make for an extremely rich cuisine in Malta. Because of its location and landscape, Malta’s gastronomy is mainly rustic and based on season products and sea food. Many classic recipes include a tart base filled up with vegetables, cheeses, meat, fish, pasta or rice. There are also a lot of stew dishes, following the traditional maltese cooking method of putting the food in mud vessels over a hot stone named kenur, since there were no firewood ovens because trees aren’t abundant. Another different way of preparing food is the filling of meats and sea fruits. When you visit Malta, don’t lose the opportunity to taste some of the following dishes that you can eat only in the Maltese islands. Snack – ing in Malta Food in Malta – snacks and appetizers . Pastizzi and Qassatat – Pastizzi are some of Malta’s favourite snacks and you can find stalls or bars that sell them everywhere. They are made of ricotta cheese or a green pea mixture stuffed inside pastry. Qassatat are almost the same, but made of a lighter pastry and round, instead of diamond-shaped.

  • Searching for a National Cuisine
    Journal of Maltese History Volume 2 Number 1, 2010 Searching for a National Cuisine Elise Billiard Université de Provence, University of Malta. Abstract As the marketing of national cuisines is spreading at an epidemic rate all around the world and as we witness countless aberrations it is necessary to shed light on the gastronomic search for identity. In this article I will be looking at some common postulates on national food. The discussion will tackle four main issues: are we really what we eat? What makes a cuisine unique? What is the place of tradition in national cuisine and how can food heritage be used to define group identity? Taking Maltese national cuisine as an example, I hope to start an indispensable debate. This article does not intend to define what is national cuisine but exposes the pitfalls and contradictions that are endemic to such definitions. 1. You are what you wish to eat Nowadays any article or book relating to food issues begins with this popular statement in its regional variations : “you are what you eat” ; “tell me what you eat, I’ll tell you who you are”, “ghidli x’hobz tiekol u nighdlek min int”, “Dimmi cosa mangi e ti dirò chi sei”, “Parla come mangi” etc. Unfortunately the aphorism has seldom been applied to the study of modern nationalism1. However this cliché might be the key to a richer understanding of national food. The longevity of such a proverb lies certainly in its malleability. Just as nutritionists can make use of it to encourage people to eat more healthily, so can geographers and historians use this proverb to divide humanity into groups of staple- food based civilizations.

  • When Tradition Becomes Trendy: Social Distinction in Maltese Food Culture
    E. Billiard:When tradition becomes trendy: social distinction in Maltese food culture. When tradition becomes trendy: social distinction in Maltese food culture Elise Billiard Université de Provence, [email protected] ABSTRACT This article looks at the revival of traditional Maltese food as a medium with which the Maltese represent, and contest, relationships among social classes. The recent revival of traditional Maltese food represents the quest of a young Maltese nation for originality, especially by the elite of that society. I argue that the Maltese elite, by using traditional, picturesque images of themselves, is succumbing to foreign ideals, and accepting the symbolic domination of Europe. Food habits have always been part of one’s everyday passive identity, but the revival of traditional food in Malta is an active and political claim for a desired identity. KEYWORDS: tradition, identity, social distinction, Malta, food culture. ‘Location in Malta was never a matter of geography but of identity’. Paul Sant-Cassia (1999) Introduction After Malta’s independence from British colonial rule in 1964, the islands’ rich historical heritage enabled the Maltese economy to turn itself toward yet another colonizer: the tourist. Nowadays an average of one million tourists come to admire the bastions built by the Hospitalier Knights of Saint John or to walk through the megalithic temples which pre- date the Egyptian pyramids. However tourists have little contact with daily Maltese life. To try and bridge this gap, a number of amateur food lovers founded the Fuklar Founda- tion, a voluntary organization with the principal aim of promoting and defending ‘tradi- tional Maltese food’.

  • MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 222 June 2018 1
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 222 June 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 222 June 2018 Maltese cuisine is the result of a long relationship between the Islanders and the many civilisations who occupied the Maltese Islands over the centuries. This marriage of tastes has given Malta an eclectic mix of Mediterranean cooking. Although the restaurant scene is a mix of speciality restaurants, there are many eateries that offer or specialise in local fare, serving their own versions of specialities. Traditional Maltese food is rustic and based on the seasons. Look out for Lampuki Pie (fish pie), Rabbit Stew, Bragioli (beef olives), Kapunata, (Maltese version of ratatouille), and widow's soup, which includes a small round of Gbejniet (sheep or goat's cheese). On most food shop counters, you'll see Bigilla, a thick pate of broad beans with garlic. The snacks that must be tried are ‘hobz biz-zejt' (round of bread dipped in olive oil, rubbed with ripe tomatoes and filled with a mix of tuna, onion, garlic, tomatoes and capers) andpastizzi (flaky pastry parcel filled with ricotta or mushy peas). A trip to the Marsaxlokk fish market on Sunday morning will show you just how varied the fish catch is in Maltese waters. When fish is in abundance, you'll find Aljotta (fish soup). Depending on the season, you'll see spnotta(bass), dott (stone fish), cerna (grouper),dentici (dentex), sargu (white bream) and trill(red mullet). swordfish and tuna follow later in the season, around early to late autumn, followed by the famed lampuka, or dolphin fish. Octopus and squid are very often used to make some rich stews and pasta sauces.
