When did you live in Malta and for how long?

What Maltese foods did you like and now miss?

When I was growing up, we never went out to eat unless with company.
Then, it was always to Howard Johnson. The food there was OK but nothing
to brag about. Always seemed kinda sterile food to me.

Never even ordered a pizza back then. Pizza was always that boxed mix
from a grocery store. No real seafood either - fish was always those
frozen fish sticks. Steaks were always very thin and cooked to well done
and like shoe leather.

I never got good food until I moved out on my own.
This is why I loved McDonalds hamburgers so much.
I used my allowance once a week to go there.

Once or twice a year my mother took me to a nice restaurant. She
always gave me the fruit out of her Rob Roy.

We ordered pizza, and the place also had stuff like fried shrimp, which
we'd get occasionally.

McDonald's was too far away until my posse and I were driving age.
I spent my allowance at a place that was like White Castle.

If I'd grown up eating like you, I might also have thought McDonalds
is fantastic. Apart from the animal torture, of course, but you don't
mind that.

You call McDs Mystery Meat good food. DUH
You lived in a shit neighhood. Where I lived there were candy stores
that served great food at the counter, soups, sandwiches and burgers.

Growing up we ate out on average twice a week and the food was
excellent and very reasonably priced.
The Chinese restaurant served a full meal, all the hot tea you can
drink, a large bowl of white rice, Wonton Soup w/crispy noodles, Chow
mein, Egg Roll, Fly Lice, Ice Cream for dessert, Fortune Cookies... a
full meal with large portions, enough to bring some home... this
served at a table with a real linen table cloth and real linen
napkins, all for 35¢ and a customary 10¢ tip. I would treat my mom to
a Chinks lunch with my newpaper delivery money. This was the third
store from the corner of the block where we lived. The second store
in from the corner was an Italian restorant/pizzaria... a large pie
18", 8 slices, cost 75¢, individual slices cost 15¢, excellent pizza,
better than anything you can buy today at those chain pizza joints.
The corner store was called a Pork Store, a real butcher shop, served
great Cold Cut Heros... an 8 incher 25¢. A photo of that corner with
those three stores was often featured in NY newspaper magazine
sections. This was in Brooklyn, 1950s. There was no McDs or any fast
food joints. Sid's Luncheonette served great burgers and fries. And
naturally there were Kosher Delis all over Brooklyn, more than you
could count, not to mention the Appys everywhere, and lots of street
venders selling all kinds of food... and I could ride my bike ten
minutes to Sheepshead Bay, the seafood capital of the world.

Happy New Year to you too, soon! The First Pescatarian Revelation came
to me when I was around 27. I remember the yellow cans of Moroccan
sardines well.

One exception to what I said:
One time, my father took me (only) to a steak house.

Those steaks were finished in the oven on a metal oval plate and served
on the same. As the waitress served these steaks, they were still
sizzling loudly as she brought them out.

Very good steaks but I'll bet no restaurant would serve them that way
now. You could easily burn your hand on the plate if not careful.

I don't mind as long as someone else does all the dirty work. Head in
Sand approach to meat.

I tried and didn't like hunting and killing wild animals.
If I raised domestic animals, they would all become pets. Dammit.

I think you're wrong. Our favorite Thai place serves beef on a sizzling
platter, and we know of a Chinese restaurant that serves Subgum
Wor Bar on a sizzling plate.

Then there's this:

It's been a while since I went to a Mexican restaurant but it wasn't all
that long ago some places were serving the fixings for fajitas on a
sizzling hot cast iron skillet. Similar to this:

I have seen it in steak houses within the last few years, and more
recently with Chinese and Thai restaurants. It's unfortunate that we
live in a litigation prone society with courts that view stupidity as a
form of victimization.

I'd not want my steak on a sizzling plate. Starts out medium rare and
end up well done as you eat.

I do recall watching a server in a steakhouse with a plated steak that
had a temperature probe. She stood watching it and when the proper temp
was hit she took off to the table.

I agree with you. That is all for show. Have they never heard of the
concept of resting meat?

I remember when the Mexican restaurants would always bring out plates
with the server using a big towel or something to carry it by the edge.
"Be careful, the plate is very hot!". I would put my hand near the
plate and often could tell it was not so hot. I would just grab the
plate and say "what do you mean - its not hot at all!".

It is a matter of spectacle for some people, and they want to chow down
on their meat as soon is it comes off the heat. I prefer to let mine
rest for a while.

You'd have to let all your American customers sign a form that the
restaurant doesn't have to pay damages for burn wounds if they touch
the hot plate. Even if they do it accidentally.

Maybe it starts out rare and when the plate stops sizzling, it's
perfectly medium rare.

I like the sizzle. The sizzle is good. Spectacle is good. Sell the sizzle, not the steak.

Branns which has a sizzling steak like that. we go a few times a
year.

I've never had that dish. I believe that I might have heard it being served in Chinese restaurants. It's a heck of a noisy dish!
A lot of stuff is sold by the sizzle - the product might be ordinary stuff like a phone, or coffee, or a car but with an iPhone, or a Starbuck's coffee, or a Ferrari, you're mostly buying a dream of being smarter, richer, or more desirable. A sizzling steak might not be better than a regular steak but I'll always believe that it is.

Somehow I don't think Gary is going to go there. He'll have to take
posters' word for it sizzling hot metal plates for certain types of food
haven't fallen by the wayside.

Yeah, if it's not walking distance from the ocean, he doesn't go there.
This one is 11 miles from there so 10.5 too far away (grin).

i've never made it (i'm not much into hot oil frying these days).

the basic ingredients from what i've had is your everyday
egg drop soup, some fresh cut scallions to garnish. then as you
are serving it you put some very hot oil fried plain rice in it
while the oil is still hot enough to cause it to sizzle. there's
some techniques to all of that which i've never done so i can't
say how to do it without making a mess or burning myself. which
i'd probably manage to do.

hmm, probably another reason why i don't cook like this often.

the rice is flattened into a slab perhaps 2cm thick or so and
then fried. i'd guess peanut oil.

perhaps others have done this and can fill it in more.
