Cool, thanks for your comment, I was thinking of walking up to the top but that alley looked interesting

@paulworthington8666 3 ай бұрын

The best pastizzi I can remember was from a little stand at the side of the old Bus terminus at City gate (the beautiful old one, not the brutalist Mussolini-inspired big stone blocks that uglify the place now) run by a great old-timer back in the day. I always had the riccotta cheese one. Perfect.

Hh Hi Steve..lovely walk today....was it actually today or some time ago ??Kalkara is really nice and tidy now...but it must be a hell of a job to deliver a grand piano into the back streets !! The snack shops everywhere Hi Steve..lovely walk...was it actually today or some time ago.... Kalkara looks nice and renovated but I couldn't fancy delivering a grand piano in the back streets !!! The takeaways always look so inviting even if the owners are a bit grumpy...THhhe macaroni looked really tasty !!!...We are very lucky in Cardifg there is Mcsims and they do a nice range of pastizza and also Kinnie...so that makes a nice occasionalmtrip..Mind the girls behind the counters are pretty but DUMB...just have to put up with that to get the tastebuds reminded !!! Best Regards... Peter D.

Don't worry about the cloudy skies Steve. There are photographers and painters who would give a lot for the beautiful pastel colours of the water and boats in that harbour. Thanks for another great one. Your camera work is brilliant.

'Crystal Palace' is my favorite, and any place that sources their pastizzi from them I like the pastizzi they sell just as much. My Second favorite is 'Champs Pastizzeria' (and Sphinx, they are owned by the same people, basically the same thing), Champs is located in Valletta, located in Mellieħa, and also located in Saint Julian's. My 3rd favorite is 'Premier Pastizzeria' and as you know it is in Mosta. I usually get mostly Ricotta, and some of the pea. There is a Cafe in Victoria Gozo 'called Kafe' San Gorg', that is their only location, they use their own recipe from the early 1950s, I like their pastizzi more than the pastizzi from most of Pastizzerias. Wow at the Sphinx they had Imqaret? I don't think that I have ever seen Imqaret at a Pastizzeria before. I wonder how good their Imqaret is.

Crystal Palace' is not now the same as it was ?? I will check the other places !!

@alanmercieca3086 3 ай бұрын

@@EnglishmaninMalta I did not try Crystal Palace until 2019, and so far it's my favorite place, and I don't understand why people don't care for it, grease dripped from the pastizzi almost as much as the pastizzi from Champs did, I ate Crystal Palace pastizzi twice in 2019.

Hi Steve, enjoying the videos. That big ship at 29:00 is a PCC (Pure Car Carrier) operated by Hoegh Autoliners bringing imported automobiles to Malta. I hope to get back to Malta again later this year or early next year, will put Kalkara on my list of spots to visit.

Grandpa? Have you seen this young man stride effortlessly along those rough stony paths along the clifftops in other videos? Or are you translating from Bapu as a title of respect and affection in Gujarati? That would be fine. Gandhi was a great walker too.

CHATGPT: Birgu, also known as Vittoriosa, was one of the three historic cities comprising the "Three Cities" in Malta. Birgu served as the capital of Malta from medieval times until Valletta was founded in 1566. It was an important port city and one of Malta's major fortifications throughout the centuries. While Birgu is no longer the capital of Malta, it remains a significant historical city with many landmarks and monuments."

@@EnglishmaninMalta It seems you were right though :) Wikipedia: "After being driven out of Rhodes by the Ottoman Empire, the Order of Saint John were granted Malta as their new home. In 1526, the Order sent a commission made up of eight knights to Malta, representing each of the langues. They described Birgu as a small defenceless town with old houses in poor condition.When they arrived in 1530, they decided to make Birgu the capital city of Malta, since the former capital, Mdina, was inland and did not suit their naval requirements." The man you met even called it by its old name "Vittoriosa".
