Number 37: A national gap-filler here in Malta, pastizzi

Food and how it is sold makes traveling so interesting. So the first thing I read was to look out for a hole-in-the-wall take-away pastizzi shop, we left Bruce and Cathy to get some admin done and headed out for the national gap-filler as our lunch treat while walking around the harbour here at Ta'X Biex.

Number 37:

A national gap-filler here in Malta, pastizzi.

They are delicious little pies; crusty, flaky parcels filled with ricotta cheese and rather surprisingly, mushy peas and onions. I like and so did Fred, he smashed a handful of these 40 cent treats while watching million euro yachts bob in the harbour.
