Food :

The Maltese eating habits are heavily based on carbohydrates - bread that is addictive, A number of years ago, it might have been true that awful pasta, and bad pizza  were commonly served.  However, nowadays there are many `pasta & pizza` restaurants that are generally good to very good.  Pastizzi remain one of the best fast foods ever.  Small parcels of flaky pastry stuffed with ricotta or mushy peas  -  delicious and loved by everyone. No wonder Malta has one of the highest diabetes and obesity rates in the world.
