Food glorious food. So what can you expect in terms of traditional Maltese fare at this time of year? Well as you may expect given the strong British influence, it's pretty much what you find on the table in Manchester or Maidestone. Turkey, ham, brussel sprouts... you know the drill.
It wasn't always that way. In the past you may have been served up the smaller relation of the turkey (that's the chicken) either in broth form or baked and surrounded with potatoes. Pork used to be a popular option as well, and the more Italian baked macaroni made it's appearance in many households. Maybe it still does but I don't know as I haven't been invited to a Maltese family home for Christmas, Maltese families having far too much sense for such an invitation to be proffered.
