In Indonesian bars tea is served in a glass of the same size and shape it is served here in Malta, and the taste is identical to that in Malta (with canned milk).

Herbert Ganado wrote something about this in his book “Rajt Malta tinbidel”. I forgot what it was.

Could it be we copied the Indonesians? The plot thickens.

In reply to A. Charles. In an Italian restaurant in Paceville, I was served tea in a glass with a handle after a meal a few weeks ago. I thought it was quite quaint.

In reply to Marie. This must be something lost in translation; a cup is called tazza in Italian.

In reply to Marie. In Spain they drink tea in a glass like in Maltese bars, maybe that's where the Maltese copied it from.

At least the turtle sought to protect its eggs from predators by burying them in the sand. Jeffrey placed all his eggs in one basket and deposited them with the enemy.

And who said that the Maltese do not have a sense of humour – assuming that Pepe is indeed Maltese. I do hope JPOS will not be offended and cry or send his Labour bodyguard to punch us and break our jaw.

Perhaps he can have a quick word with Michelle. She might even get him a bouncer this time round.

Very good observation.

Are you also a builders’ tea from a glass drinker, Daphne? It’s the cosiest of comfort ‘food’ for me.

[Daphne – Builder’s tea, yes, it’s the only sort I drink – but not in a glass. For a start, we have no Pyrex glasses in the house.]
