Maltese cultural evening

On Monday night, we, the Maltese had our cultural evening. We went out shopping and with some ingredients from back home made a huge feast. The typical Maltese food we made was Hobz Biz-Zejta (Bread with oil) and Froga (Fried pasta with omelette).

The Hobz biz-zejt consists of pieces of bread with tomato paste. A mixture was made with tomatoes, onions, olives, oil and basil. This mixture was put on top of the bread. We also served traditional Maltese crackers (Galletti), cheese (Gbejna) and dips (Bigilla and stuqqu). After our presentation on Malta, everyone tried a Maltese snack (twistees) and alcohol made of prickly pears.
