We get to try the cooked infused Maltese coffee with chicory, cloves and aniseed.
We get to taste the local bitter sweet drink, Kinnie.
A nice bottle of local beer at one of the Valletta clubs to wash down the ftira with.
The Maltese have pastizzi for breakfast and we will let you decide whether you like the pea or ricotta ones better.
We're sure you will love the fried date pastry sweet which we call imqaret. We also taste the baked cheese snack called Twistees and some sea salt chocolate along with the coffee.
We end our morning having some nice ftira lunchtime bread which we traditionally fill with tuna chunks, tomato conserve, onions, capers, olives and other Mediterranean produce.
